- * If necessary, clean the outside of the computer's case with a damp (not
- wet) cloth or paper towel.
- * Clean the screen with soft, lint-free paper or cloth and a mild glass
- cleaner. So not spray the glass cleaner (or any other liquid) directly
- onto the screen.

- In practice I use a damp cloth with windex on it for most Macs and a
- pre-moistened tape-head cleaning pad for the PowerBooks. Very lint free
- and the alcohol evaporates quickly.
