With the new iMac moving in, Claire and I worked on a project to clean the old iMac's keyboard. After years of use by hair-losing dogs and people, oily fingers, and way too much snacking at the computer, the keyboard accumulated a lot of filth. Zoom in the "dirty" photo below to see what you can identify. (Hint: Can you find the staple?)

Carefully removing each key and letting them soak in some soapy water, Claire and I used a hand towel and q-tips to make the keyboard look almost new!

We followed the tips of this French web page auto-translated by Google. The translation is funny, but there were some good tips.
