(1) How can I best clean my PC's keyboard?

(2) How can I finally shift my persistent catarrh (sp?) before I go on holiday?

1. If you're extremely careful - especially with the wire supports under the larger keys - like this: http://wry.fotopic.net/p15841505.html (Take the key tops off, soak them in a bowl of warm soapy water; blow out the crud from under them [close eyes!]; when dry, reattach key tops and be sure to get them in the right places! Or - if an experienced touch-typist and feeling evil - reattach in subtly wrong places >:-D )

I have fond memories of prising the keys of keyboards to clean them, and then trying to make sure I put them back in the right place!

While we are thinkoing of ways to confound people, have you ever encountered rotating the deflection coils on a CRT television, so that the picture is at about 30° to the horizontal, then propping up one end of the tv with a book so that the picture is level...

In a coach on the way to a ski holiday the horizontal deflection coil had been connected in reverse - presumably at a repair, and the ski rep kept trying to fix the roblem of all the writing being backwards by putting the VHS tape into the machine the other way round. I explained that someone was obviously having their little joke, but it took her about half an hour to get around to believing me. Theyy clearly didn't do a good job of teaching basic science even that long ago.

I've seen a keyboard for evil touch typists that has all blank keys.
