Great use for an old book
If you're still using a computer mouse with a ball, throw away your
mouse pad and replace it with a large, old, hardcover cloth-bound book. The linen surface will not produce lint, and your mouse will work perfectly for years. Also, the book won't move around as much as a mousepad. Clean the mouse first, using isopropyl alcohol and Q-tip or toothpick to get the crusted dirt off the two interior rollers. |

Works great! |

I have been using one for a couple of years and will never go back! Greg |
