[G4] Keyboard cleaning

[Brian Conner]

Everyone should try that at least once, just for the experience of it.

After that, most people will determine that it's cheaper to buy a new
keyboard. I mean, considering what your time is worth, the keyboard is
usually worth less.

Instead of trying to get the back off of the keyboard, try removing 
the keys using a special tool which applies pull to opposite sides of 
the key. You can soak the keys and vacuum out all of the crumbs which 
the keys themselves trap. I got mine at Jensen Tools.
