Of course if you use "Windows" you should be usind windex it says right on the bottle it cleans windows better than anything
I had one system that I decided to use a "blessed" hammar on, did not work afterwards but I sure felt a lot better.
** and of course since the direction of this thread went to fun I thought I may as well also.

Hi,
My computer loves dust balls. Removing the case and using compressed air, with cotton swabs is a way of life here.
The keypad has all sorts of coffee stains, cookie crumbs. Got a keyboard cleaner last year, with small brushes. It's a battery run vacuum, works very well. Compressed air works good, too.
I think I might use Fr_Chucks idea and give the keyboard a bath. Might like sweet smelling bath oil, let it soak for a couple of hours!

My biggest problem is wearing out the letters on the keys and having to remember where they are.

Well this is gross, but I don't even bother to clean mine... like Scott, mine wears out pretty fast, and then I just go buy a new one... keyboard, that is... not computer!
