This these things are amazing. I had dirty palmrests from a few months of use and couldn't seem to get them out with alcohol or anything. The magic eraser things cleaned off my palm rests in seconds.

I'll vouch for this as well, although what I've used are the art erases (like those made by Staedler and Rotring), as they leave fewer... stuff.

I don't think those products are available in Canada. Can I mail order one or get one of you to send me one? iBook G4 is only a few months old and the plam marks are turning a pale brown, just from skin oil. And man, I wash my hands ALOT just to make sure they're completely dry and clean before using the computer.

You can get those kinds of erasers in stores that carries art supplies, or even school supplies. These are common products sold everywhere.
