Yeech!  Even in a relatively clean environment, the mouse ball has a great
knack for attracting all sorts of neat lint and stuff.  The little rollers
get covered, and the mouse starts to stick a little.  What fun!  (When
my mouse goes to Rodent Heaven, I think I'm gonna definitely get an 
optical rat to replace it.)  How would they ever clean the mice?
