Ah.  I recall the three plastic sheets in the MS keyboard as being 
separate, but I don't recall if they were that way originally or if they 
required encouragement.

My husband was an insulin-dependent diabetic, so consequently we kept a 
supply of the little alcohol wipes for his injections and finger-sticks. 
  It turns out that they're extremely useful for cleaning contacts, 
displays, and so forth--anything that you really don't want to hose down 
with the Scrubbing Bubbles.

I have about three quartes a litre of IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) for 
cleaning things. I got fed up with using vodka. :-)

Is *that* why it's called "Greenking IPA"?

Naw, there is only one real IPA and it is called McEwan's. :-P

A sad waste of vodka (although personally I'd prefer rum to not 
waste--preferably in conjunction with fruit juice and neon-colored 
liqueurs, with a little paper umbrella on top to keep the rain out. 
Although Kool-Aid also works.)  :)

A waste indeed hence the IPA.
It would have been my wife’s vodka. I drink whisky which leaves a stain 
when it dries. Now, your witches brew could be used as a nutrient. ;-)

When I was a child, we got a shiny new Acorn A3010 for Christmas. My 
sister spilt Ribena around the Delete key area, so even many years later 
that key always got stuck down if you pressed it. I got into such a 
habit of never using that key (as it would end up deleting everything 
after the cursor before you could wiggle it back up), that even today it 
feels dangerous to use it.

German caps lock should be called shift lock.
