Oh boy, Mike COle is "thinking different" 2B shure. Matt, in case you 
didn't spot it, it's a gag--a rough kind of initiation, Mike!

Get a spray bottle of KLEAR SCREEN and the associated lint-free cloth. 
Spray only on the cloth, then apply to the screen carefully so it 
doesn't leak into the edges. Wipe down carefully to avoid smudges.
I also bought some of those special cloths--TRASAN Natural Cleaning 
Cloths from Sweden--that are great for cleaning off the screen. I now 
tend to just use one of those without the KLEAR and they work fine, but 
if you've got fingerprints on your screen, the KLEAR may be necessary.
