What is the best way to clean my Aluminum Powerbook?

I am sure this was discussed before, but I guess time changes things and maybe people are doing stuff different these days.

I really need to clean the keyboard and powerbook itself but of course I don't want to damage anything.

Yeah if you had done a simple search. How many threads do we need about such a topic. I mean can't this be figured out by yourself?

How do I wash behind my ears?

why do people have to be such sarcastic snot nose assholes?

Do you know how many topics have been repeated on here?
hmm lets see..
battery life,
white spot,
broken hinge,
G5 powerbook rumer,
bad ram...

just to name a few.

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all ASSHOLES.

It wouldn't be that big a problem if it were a while before we had covered the subject. But its only been a few days, its probably still on the first or second page. So why dont you take your medicine and just do a search next time before posting something that was already answered a few days ago. This thread should be locked.

I hope you realize the contradiction within your own advice.

In the beginning of the web forums there has something like netiquette been developed.

In the meantime some posters seem to have forgotten about this. We don't want to become like slashdot here, will we?

I was sticking up for you... were you not asking about YOUR powerbook? I could have been confused, sometimes it's hard to read one's tone...

that is unless they start using obcenities to describe you. Then the tone shines clearly through the post. Thanks for making this a joy to help you. Then you wonder why no one did help you.
