Given what's in cat puke...probably. You can try washing it off with distilled water and letting it dry VERY thoroughly, but these thin keyboards are glued together, making them extremely difficult to clean, and susceptible to damage from corrosive or conductive gunk. When I clean off mine I use a paper towel dampened with a little isopropyl alcohol or if they're particularly grungy a spritz of Formula 409, and holding tit upside down, gently scrub them key by key. Even so I've had them malfunction after wards until whatever liquid gets into the circuit evaporates. They're nice keyboards, I love 'em, but they are a pain to clean. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
