| 355254 | 2005-05-15 04:06:00 | Well actually it doesn't really burn the wood. I have used the thing for ages now and noticed that the laminated wood panel that is my keyboard/mouse shelf has deposits of what looks like carbon under where the mouse light shines. I am so intriqued by this that I have deliberately left it to accumulate over the last few months. My study is vacuumed every week and is in a clean condition, so I don't think its dust. But I am intriqued - any theories of what is happening? The deposit feels slightly greasy and is easily cleaned off. Tom (very curious about a thoroughly unimportant problem). |

| 355256 | 2005-05-15 04:20:00 | Probably the same stuff that accumulates on every mouse in the world ..... finger oils/grease/mud/"stuff". | Rugrats (6953) | ||
| 355257 | 2005-05-15 04:49:00 | I have the same problem but the stuff is easy to get rid off just scrape it off the desk :thumbs: | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 355258 | 2005-05-15 05:44:00 | Get a damp cloth and some soap, and clean the table, or go out and buy a bottle of Isopropyl alcohol, rub with a cloth on the affected area. both will do the job |

| 355259 | 2005-05-15 05:58:00 | Just a quick reply to those who have suggested easy clean methods. Agreed. But I thought I made the point in my original email that the stuff is already extremely easy to shift. There really isn't any problem - I'm just intriqued with what it could be. I will however take the suggestion to potty train my mouse. I have rubbed its nose in the deposit for a starters. Tom |

| 355260 | 2005-05-15 06:04:00 | Hi thomas. Gently with the training. We had a dog once that started to crap on a balcony. :cool: We rubbed its nose in it and flung it down the stairs. After a while it would crap, walk to the top of the stairs and throw itself down the stairs. Good luck. | Scouse (83) | ||
