<< In aviation we are told never to use paper towels to clean windshields. Of course, these are plastic on airplanes, but the wisdom is that every paper towel made has some kind of grit when compared to cotton old tee shirt cotton, the preferred wiper. Paper towels wouldn't scratch glass but might harm some screen coatings. >> ========================================================= I treat my screens as I do my camera lenses. I seldom use any liquids. I've found a very soft camel's hair 1-1/2 brush that I use to dust the screens occasionally. When a spot turns up that the brushing can't dislodge. I use plain water on a clean lint-free cloth. No paper of any kind, not even tissues. Never had any problems using that method. I have an Apple Trinitron CRT for my G3 Blue and a Phillips LCD flat panel for my Dell PC. If you have a preventive POV and are handy with basic tools and glue, you can make a screen cover from illustration board cut to the size of the screen fastened to a wood ledge that grips the top of the monitor. I never use a cover to enclose the entire monitor because that traps heat so the cathode can't cool off. br -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
