Of course, crud can only get in your keyboard (say that fast 5 times)
if it has access. Why not get a keyboard condom for your 'book?
I've used one on mine form months and it does a good job of keeping it
clean--fits well, and helps protect the screen from impress problems.

I'm still a proud owner and user of an Apple //e (8-bit computer for
those of you who came into the Apple crowd after the Mac was
introduced.)
I obtained a Panasonic laser printer that's HPII compatible (and yes
it too is still in use.) I had reason to print out

The looseness you feel on the LCD display is in fact a
bad hinge. If you are lucky, it may just be starting
to loosen. If this is the case, simply taking the
machine apart and tightening the hinge will fix the
problem. If you are unlucky like I was the damage
will already be done and
You might be able to get some use back to the battery
by cycle charging it. I would try cycle charging at
least a dozen times in succession. If that doesn't
help, I'd say it's time for a new one.

Of course, the power requirements of the two computers must be very

thing off, or have to force it to shut down, I lose my time and date
