Hi Philip, I have an Apple keyboard (USB) that came with my B&W G3. I used to obsessively put it in a plastic bag to keep the dirt out after I turned off the machine. But alas my obsessiveness somehow changed to laziness and I stopped doing this. After a while the keyboard had to be replaced from sticky keys, etc. Are there keyboards that this shouldn't be used on? To clean it in the DW, do you take it apart for a pre-cleaning to get rid of cookie crumbs and other junk or just put the keyboard in intact? After the the wash and rinse, is the keyboard taken apart to air dry or is the intact board just put aside for several days to "drip dry"? I assume all this is best done behind the wife's back lest she think you've finally lost it. Thanks very much. Eric -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
