well, you'll like this one.

there is an SGI in the fishbowl (M11-116-1) screensaved by user
"ngalai", idle for about 1:52 and the machine seems to be missing a mouse!

of course, all the evidence is circumstantial.  we don't know who took the
mouse.  but we had a user come in complaining that he couldn't log the
person out because there was no mouse to do it with.

thought you might want to know.  it is not terribly busy at the moment, so
i didn't reboot the machine.  not that it would be very usable without a
mouse...

thanks,

oliver
