I've had to use a mechanical mouse again, last time I used one was about 7 years ago. Geez. These things suck! I have to clean the contact rollers every day of the lint, skin oil, yuck, wut? and whatever else the ball picks up and sticks to those things. How did we ever suffer through those days, before optical or tablets?

I'd say legitimate memo, written by someone with a sense of humor.
Legitimate because domestically and foreign-produced ball mice did have distinct differences in how the ball was made, and what it was made of. Used to frustrate the hell out of me as a kid trying to swap enough parts from three broken mice to make one that works.
Someone with a sense of humor because... well, the obvious.

What are these "drivers" you speak of?
Must be a Windows thing.
I just plug hardware into my Linux box, and it works. No idea why other operating systems can't be this easy to use.
