m66-080-4 has a suboptimally functioning optical mouse. It feels like
someone spilled something on it, but there's no obvious evidence of that.
The mouse buttons have a tendancy to stick (particularly the right one),
and if you let the mouse sit for a few seconds, it tries to stick to it's
current position on the mouse pad, making it annoying to move.
Examining the bottom, there's a fair amount of dirt in the felt,
which might explain that problem.
Also, the adjoining workstation, -5, has an optical mouse pad but a
mouse-balled mouse, which seems like a less than desirable
combination.
