Comment 68 for bug 9068

I've changed the description to include the term 'mouse', as suggested in 2005, to hopefully reduce duplicate postings of this bug.

I still bump into this bug regularly - there are a lot of old serial mice still in good working order, especially where I operate - NGO's and small businesses on the tip of Africa, where new hardware is a luxury.

Generally to get really old hardware working with Ubuntu I need more memory (which is unavoidable) and a new mouse, which is unfortunate :)
