      Trackball question

      What's the best way to clean my trackball or does it really need it even? Getting the mouse to move up, down, and right is no problem, but left can be like pulling teeth.

      Re: Trackball question

      Pop the ball out and clean the runners. You can use a pencil to flick out the dirt if you need to.

      They do need to be cleaned occasionally.

      Re: Trackball question

      Should I use any cleaner on the ball itself?

      Re: Trackball question

      Unless it's really mucky* you shouldn't need to. When I used a trackball I used to just give it an occasional polish with the edge of my shirt to make sure it was clean enough. the main problems were from bits of lint and dust jamming the rollers.

      * and if it's really mucky you wouldn't be able to use it at all in anycase.

      What does Aquinas say in the Summa?

      "I hate Manwe's posts because I hate babies and America." --Augustine2004, August 6, 2011

      Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
      Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'

      'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

      On the contrary as it is stated amply by the denizens of TheologyWeb, Manwe is indeed a horny doofus.

      Re: Trackball question

      In that case, I have to agree with monktard that Aquinas is a debunked Medieval superstitious nutjob.

      I answer that the horniness of Manwe is seen in that he hits on every female on TWeb that there is. The doofusness is seen in that he agrees with Wikimonkey.

      Obvious lie. I should kick you in the trackballs for such slander.
