You need to pry off the four rubber feet on the bottom, which conceal the four screws that hold the thing together. It's true that the rollers tend to get gunked up pretty easily, and need to be cleaned fairly often. When the rollers are clean, though, it seems to work fine. I especially like the two extra "click-lock" buttons that allow you to scroll or drag without your finger having to continually press down on a button (a benefit that has actually prompted me to start using the Preferences menu-button feature). ----------- Gary Miller NeXT Publications
