OK, so there is no replacement for the wheel, how about the ball?  The
intellimouse ball is toast now b/c I used it on a rough surface.  It's
slick, and doesn't have a chalk texture anymore.  I'm sure its the
ball that needs changing b/c I put a logitech one in and it works
great.  I've yet to locate a retailer who sells replacements.  The
mouse is fine so a <$10 replacement would be acceptable.  Anyone know
where I might pick one up?

thanks,
