Re: Cleaning wipes for PB

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB
Get the clear screen, I avoided spending the money for a long time but is worth it, the only other thing I ever used on my iBook was the cleaning cloths(dry) used for eyeglasses with the glare resistant coating, but the clear screen stuff works perfectly and you can get individual packs of it (like hand wipe packages) for around $12 for a pack of 15 I believe.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB
Another way to help keep your laptop screen clean is to get some of those clear plastic screen overlay sheets. Macally sells some (http://www.macally.com/spec/specialties/accessories/screenprotector.html) and I've got one on my 15 AL right now. They may not be as cheap as the Kleer Screen wipes, but they do offer a layer of buffer protection against dirt, and also against keyboard imprint too.

I know that feeling. I can actually watch the dust build up on my Lombard. Needless to say, it gets a lot of dusting off.. Tom, you don't realise that some of us can't afford to use those HoodWipes. I know that I couldn't, simply because I'm a student with an insanely low budget. Heh, I used a PB 190 until a couple of weeks ago, when I got the Lombard, so that should be a sign. In all reality, I just say use what works for you, on your budget. I like baby wipes, because they're insanely cheap.

Re: Cleaning wipes for PB
You can go into an eyeglass store and get the dry microfiber cloth wipes for a couple of bucks like I do and use those for most cleanings, take it from a low income IT person that just graduated with a 2yr and already has three mouths to feed cheapest way is better, but dont use vinegar or harsh cleansers because they are lying around (I know these are extremes but you get the hint), the repair to the screen will really screw up your budget.

Tom, you don't realise that some of us can't afford to use those HoodWipes. I know that I couldn't, simply because I'm a student with an insanely low budget. Heh, I used a PB 190 until a couple of weeks ago, when I got the Lombard, so that should be a sign. In all reality, I just say use what works for you, on your budget. I like baby wipes, because they're insanely cheap.

I actually just tried that on my Lombard, and I've been pleasantly surprised. It's kinda interesting what homebrew remedies that we Mac users can come up with, given the resources.
