	I'm afraid I have to disagree.  The rollers do get gummed up, with
what I believe is more dirt than rust, especially as it's worse in hot
weather.  However, it only takes a screwdriver and some time to take the
thing apart and clean it.  I wouldn't part with my Kensington.
	Besides, between it and my Dvorak KCHR, almost no one wants to borrow
my mac :-)
