Your mouse is tired. Each mouse has a preordained number of clicks before
the switch breaks. Double-clicks use them up faster, of course. I ran
through two mice on my original mac, before I traded up to a new system last
year. I blame it on that game of Risk I got for christmas in 1986. Or maybe
it was the clumps of fur under the mouseball...
Sorry, it's been a l-o-n-g day.
