As a Graphic Design student, this past year I was required to purchase a laptop thorugh a program set up by the school.
Thus I have ended up with a Mac Powerbook.
Over a year of commuting back and forth to school, use in various environments, an a teacher with a penchant for touching the screen with his index or middle finger while explaining a point >cringe<
my screen has become somewhat dirty.
Does anyone have any safe, tried and true methods for keeping their laptops, or computers clean and bright?
I know mine definatley needs a wipedown, but I fear to use a damaging material or chemical on it.
I've heard windex works with a non-abraisive cloth, but does it really?

I would stay away from using Windex...

They have cleaning sloutions for Apple LCD screens at your local Apple store, but the price is ridiculoulsy high for one bottle.

Try this instead: http://www.welovemacs.com/ika12p.html
