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.

I'm using my mouse on an original copy of the Gutenberg Bible. Works great!

Better yet, toss the old mouse and buy a cord less, ball less mouse! I have
been using one for a couple of years and will never go back!

If Pres Bush would let cloning take place we'd have more replacement
mouse balls than we know what to with ;-)

P.S. and we'd have fewer 1 balled mice roaming around!

Wait for it.......

My dog has been ball less for a couple of years now.
He is very mellow now, never saw a ball less mouse though.
