Have any of you thought of putting a LED inside an Kensington Orbit? Well, I have but, I need to know how to do it. It's got a clear blue ball and it's just begging to be lit up. There is enough room in it for one I just don't know how to get it in there. Help anyone?

Oh yeah, if you need pictures, tell me and I'll get them.

Hey, that ball rolls a lot, ya'd hafta make it totally self contained to have this work (like, its own batery) and it'd be a bitch to turn off and on, much less replace the battery...g/l...
