A rather odd question....

I got a mouse and a keyboard at the Goodwill.

Appalling, simply appalling. Anyone with half a mind knows that doesn’t work. :roll:

quite frankly, I was thinking more along the lines of a mouse ball being something akin to a fur ball. And I wondered why anyone would want to clean it :stuck_out_tongue:

How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Sorry, wrong thread…

I used a device for cleaning the mouse guts that has a velcro ball on a velcro pad. Take the rubber ball out of the mouse, put a bit of “cleaning fluid” (alcohol) on the velcro ball, place the mouse over the velcro ball on the pad and roll it around. It works great, even on the crud that builds up hard on the skinny rollers on older mice. I used it for a long time before I finally got an optical mouse.

Yeah, well, people with half a mind usually think they know a lot more than they really do. :wink:

'Round here they say, it ain’t what he knows that’s the problem - it’s what he knows that just ain’t so.

I apologize in advance…

Re: Replacement of Mouse Balls.

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

… well, there you have it. :smiley:

At least dirty mouse balls are better than pimply hairy fishnuts…

A classic!

What is that white drum-looking thing on her chest? I’m assuming it has something to do with Hare Krishna, but I don’t know much about it…

From [u]Wikipedia[/u]:

Hare Krishna devotees are known for their singing and dancing with drums and cymbals in streets of cities round the world …

The wonders of wikipedia, eh? Thanks. :slight_smile:

To see me dressed in saffron
With my hair that’s only half on
And it’s good enough for me.
