The Sun workstation m1-115-1 in the 1-115 electronic classroom has a flaky mouse.
Specifically, the left mouse button does not like to stay on when the button is
held.  This makes click-and-drag operations such as resizing windows, moving windows,
and making menu selections difficult.  An easy way to observe this behavior is
to click and hold on the title bar of a window and see that the title bar does
not like to stay depressed.

Please fix this mouse ASAP as it belongs to the instructor's workstation in the
room, making it very hard to conduct demonstrations.
