I'm not sure you understand the concept of an excuse to buy new shiny
things :P
Seriously though I do clean it out fairly well every now and then, but it
would be nice not to have to bother, plus I'm finding it increasingly
difficult to press the middle button without scrolling a notch, which
really annoys me if I'm trying to, say, open a link in a new tab, or
paste something and end up putting it in the wrong place.
