Put a couple of drops of Fairy liquid onto the ball, "massage" it over the
surface of the ball and then thoroughly rinse it.
Make sure your mouse mat is clean, if it has a fabric top, use a nail brush and
Fairy liquid to clean it with.
Again, rinsing thoroughly.

"So, Mr Slumpy you *really* are the perpetual comedian, aren't you ?" I
threw back my head and roared with laughter as ilmc continued:

Microsoft is not the answer, it is the question. The answer is NO.

Hello,
Gently push the ball out of the mouse. Clean all rollers with alcohol and a
cotton tip swab.
If it's a trackball, do the same thing, clean the three roller points,
alcohol and swab, reassemble.
It should not be in a working condition.
Now if you would like to "keep the crud", save all residue and the swab in a
plastic bag!
Pretty basic, huh.

No.. but if you feel your mouse should have more than only one ball, you
can contact IBM's tech support crew; Explaine that your maouse has only
one ball and ask how much it would cost to get a second. If they try to
suggest you only need one... Explain that "fluffy" gets hot when you
handle it and you feel it should have the dignatie (sp) of matching
balls, regardless of what they think.

If nothing else, that would make for a GREAT recorded phone convo.
