Hi all,
We have been through the "missing mouse balls" for years and years. Some
of us have glued them shut (cleaning means unscrewing the base), some have
heat welded them shut.....these mylar seals sound the go. Others get rid
of the ball mice and buy the Honeywell ballless mouse. What to do with
mouse balls and their stealers keeps coming up in discussion groups all
over the world it seems.

Oh...the "we" is QSITE - Queensland Society for Information Technology in
Education. We are a few hundred teachers in Queensland Australia. An
article on this very topic appears in one of our newsletters. It can be
found at this URL:

I can't remember which edition it is in.

Cheers
David
