How to polish a trackball
« on: November 21, 2008, 04:16:10 pm »
I just added a post on my wifes blog about how to polish a trackball (I figured I would post a link here in case anyone here is interested, I know when I tried searching for info on this, I came up empty handed).  Anyways, if you're interested, you can find the post here:

Ha, that's actually a buddy of mine, he left it as a joke, I haven't seen last nights office, but he said it had something to do with that.  We just give each other a hard time as a joke, he thought he was pretty funny with that comment.

That's pretty cool.


I work at an optics shop where we use diamond powder to polish balls  (I know it sounds funny)  but when they are done, they have a mirror finish.

If I ever had some old track balls I might try polishing them.
