To clean it... brushes where the wheel/sphere enters the cowling.
For gunk not able to be cleaned with a brush... simply remove the wheel/sphere and replace it with a clean one.
I can see a franchise in this... similar to replacing gas containers for your gas grill... let me know if you want to participate in a start-up.
Names for the start-up... ball replacement services, nilkys' balls, Cum-n-clean....
I would say, offhand, that that assumption was rather rash... there are many reasons to talk to your computer. She could have well been writing her sales report using a voice recognition system or composing her on-line journal (newspeak = BLOG---barf) or doing a myriad other things... spreadsheets, databases, medical transcription... Maybe she was just used to talking to walls, and gee, here's this microphone... heh.
Anonymity is made for people who care... just not enough to get involved.
"...we produce about a hundred thousandth of a microgram of antiprotons (which we then smash the hell out of)."

And what is this world coming to, that people wearing glasses get kicked in the head? When I was growing up, if you were going to hit a guy in the head and he had glasses on, you politely asked him to remove them first.
We never even *thought* about kicking someone in the head, of course. Kicks were aimed somewhat lower, and only used in desperation. And there was a similar stigma attached to anyone who used "dirty" tactics.

Codebuster, this is very amusing... do you do stand-up too? "What a bunch of crap, I expected better of Texas."
It's hard to make the average person understand *anything*. That's why we pay our average teachers so much....
A good portion of the funds will go to build a supersonic railroad from Alaska to Chile for the 'scope.

I don't want to have anything to do with an instrument that won't play three notes at a time...
