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. -don "Never give in! Never give in!
