Greetings, The response from people on this list to my question on how to erase permanent marker off of a duo casing gave much food for thought and i decided to take another run at cleaning off the writing on the outside back of the display case. This time I suceeded.
Before I had tried to wipe the marks off with 99% isopropyl alcohol using a toothbrush, cotton swab and a cloth. This got the marks to fade but not disappear. I decided to use significantly more elbow grease. The area in question was one by three inches. It had marker writing on it. I took the back of the display case off of the duo. I put a rubber glove on my hand. I dipped a cotton swab in the alcohol. With the side of the cotton swab sandwiched between the display case and my thumb, i vigourously rubbed the marked area. This would leave a bit of marker on the swab. About ten to fifteen two-ended swabs later, I could not detect any permanent marker on the case. The side effect is that the texture of the duo casing in the one by three inch area was removed leaving a shiny smooth area. But that's fine with me. It looks infinitely better than with the marker on it. So I must thank you the many people who offered suggestions, insights, and words of experience on erasing permanent marker. It gave me the encouragement to get the job done. cheers, stephen kenda ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
