I had an ink spill on a desk that stubbornly stayed through every cleaning solution I tried. Three years later I bought a cleaning solution with australian tea tree oil in it -- Home Hardware's Natura spray cleaner -- and discovered that the day old coffee stain wasn't the only thing it wiped from the desk. The set-in ink stain disappeared too. <http://www.homehardware.ca/Products/index/show/product/I4580929/name/cleaner_a_p_natura_650ml> Steve R --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
