Dip little twists of cotton in rubbing alcohol--if you like finicky, precision chores.

I hope you have a black keyboard, Deb. If everything else fails, take
some clearasil acne pad or clearasil liquid with Q-tips.



Are you for real?

Wouldn't Clearasil cost more than a new keyboard?


(would around here, in any case)

Rubbing alcohol!

That is one of those weird American things, I think. What percentage is it? Do you get it at chemist shops? I don't think I have ever seen any. Would meths do?

Save up and buy a new keyboard. I'm gonna spring for a new mouse before we head back to Tranna. The new/old one's possessed, and the new/new one doesn't like the new puter.


How can you miss me when I won't go away?


Yeppers...I WOULD save up...except huge bills keep coming when least expected.

Like $268 for a new driver's licence yet!

Without a working keyboard ... and if you take it apart ... and a spring goes mad ... and you can't catch it ...

I know I'll miss you.

I Googled.

Australian vets use rubbing alcohol, but meths is the same thing.

Oh, the good ol' times in which one would clean the keys with a needle, specially in the middle of the o's.

Well, I am enormously scrutable, generally....seems to help with the work.


I mean, I have to be inscrutable sometimes, but I amn't good at it.

Fair enough! Laughing Aussies can't know that the German housewives thrive
to gain the "golden apron" - almost equivalent to the oscar - for
being overly clean. That's why they tossed me out of the country.

But...a NEEDLE? Were the keyboards smaller, or did it just take a long time?

Is it really worth the time to devote four pages of space to the subject of cleaning keyboards?

Personally, I think scrutable people save other people a great deal of time and energy.

Come Judgement Day when all the Lost Positives are found, "Scrutable" will be right on top of to Heavenly Lexicon.

Everytime I hear someone announce, "I'm a very complex person," I interpret "I'm full of cherished inconsistancy."

The mind boggles.
