HOW DO I CLEAN A KEYBOARD?  (1.1)
---------------------------------

       For basic cleaning a little isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on a 
  Scott towel works well.  Common household cleaners like Formula 409 
  also do a nice job.  To perform a more thorough cleaning you'll need 
  to take the keyboard apart.  Depending on the type of keyboard 
  you'll need one or more of a Phillips head screwdriver, a Torx T-15 
  screwdriver, and a special tool almost impossible to find when you 
  really really need it which goes by the technical name of "key 
  puller."  Disassemble the keyboard, pull off all the keys, and use a 
  can of compressed air or an electronics vac to clean out all the 
  dust bunnies that have mated and grown and had children and mated 
  again and built apartment complexes and shopping malls inside your 
  keyboard.  (I don't know why, but keyboards attract far more 
  detritus than any other computer component.)  Finally if you spilled 
  Mountain Dew, coffee or some other liquid substance into the 
  keyboard, clean it with lukewarm water and a soft towel.  Use 
  isopropyl alcohol on any remaining sticky spots.
