[Ti] Cleaning screen on Ti.

[Kynan Shook]

Just to preface my comment, I'm not making an attack on what you use  
to clean your screen here, on environmental grounds or anything else...

However, Windex is probably a bad choice.  Apple (and LCD  
manufacturers) recommend using water only.  If you want to use  
something other than water, you should use a mild cleaner designed  
for LCDs that contains no alcohol or ammonia; according to the FAQs  
at windex.com, Windex contains both alcohol and ammonia.

The reason for this is that there are coatings that go on the surface  
of the LCD which can be rubbed off; your display could start looking  
patchy if the coatings get rubbed off.

So, direct from The Source, I present the official Apple  
recommendations:

Personally, I've tried Klear Screen a few times; it does what it  
says, but I'm not sure that it cleans any better than water for  
normal use.  Plus, water's a little cheaper around here, so it saves  
me a few bucks.
