Desktop keyboards can be cleaned in the dishwasher, unheated dry, no soap. If all else fails, it would be interesting to try this with a laptop keyboard that you were going to throw away. If you did it and then let it dry for a week or three, at worst I'd think it would fail to work... (Obviously you'd want to acquire another in the meantime so your machine isn't down!) ...phsiii _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
