More to the point, I've used these for quite some time on my lcd screens with no damage, so empirically, I know these work. Also that advice is really weird from a chemical standpoint, because denatured alcohol has some much less polar chemicals in it (the denaturing part) and isopropyl is only slightly less polar than ethanol. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
