Hi all, After rearranging my office, my iMac now has a number of greasy fingerprints on the screen. I was just wondering what people find to be the best/safest/easiest screen cleaning methods. Cheers My apple LCL, latest Macbook and iPhone all came with a screen cleaning cloth - looks like a standard microfibre thingy. The black Macbook one comes with the Apple logo on it. These seem cheap now - compared to the Enjo ones we have.
