	Having once worked for CMU Academic Computing, I appreciate the 
magnitude of the problem; I use the Ergotron Mouse Cleaner 360 (look
in the computer store); it's the finest mouse cleaner I've seen.

	A side bous is that it can also be used to clean the mice attached
to the IBM RT's in the various  Andrew  workstation clusters.
