| 114426 | 2003-01-16 20:48:00 | I'm another Spray and Wipe fan - that stuff is magic. Also like the suggestion to take the top off the keyboard to get at the crud. After nearly five years' hard use my keyboard is in pretty good nick really and I attribute that to making users wash their grubby paws before using it and not allowing people (apart from me :D) to bring food or drink near it. Wish I could enforce the same rules at work - I gave the PC there a thorough external spring clean in November and it's back to its disgusting state already :-(. If you want to know how to clean your hard drive there are excellent instructions here (www.pcnineoneone.com). ;-) :D |

| 114428 | 2003-01-16 21:59:00 | Just love it Susan :D Just enough detail and seriousness of tone to maintain the attention of the credulous . It should really be an FAQ: How do I clean the data of my hard drive before selling my computer? I've always wanted to get my hands on an old hard drive of reasonable size and weight to use as a door stop . I keep an eye on the surplus stores but most of the drives I see are magnificently engineered aluminium works of art weighing about 20 kilos and are too big and expensive . They must have had monstrous storage capacity in their day, probably as much as 20MB . Cheers Billy 8-{) :D :D I bet Godfather will know the capacity, standby for factual response . :) |

| 114429 | 2003-01-16 22:03:00 | You may laugh Baldy, but I find that removing all the keys is the quickest and most thorough method. Fortunately, I have a second keyboard for reference when reassembling. ;) Cheers Miami |

| 114430 | 2003-01-16 22:29:00 | The IBM System/34 HD were about 16 Mb. Too large for a door stopper, and they had a 220v motor on them, of reasonable size as well. | godfather (25) | ||
| 114431 | 2003-01-16 23:36:00 | First try turning it upside down and giving it a darn good spanking. A whole Zoo will emerge including the bread crumbs, dandruff and other bits of your dead skin and the various critters (eg: mites) that feast on same Then proced to the Spray'n'Wipes etc etc |

| 114432 | 2003-01-17 00:45:00 | Go God () () () () () I knew you'd come through for me . Sounds like that's the model I was looking at . Surplustronics in Auckland had one but they wanted a couple of hundred for it if I recall . I think they must have set that on historic value to a collector thought there was damned near enough scrap metal in it to justify that price!! Still in awe :8} Billy 8-{) :D Anybody notice that Godfather is about to hit 3KB of posts (3072) . And every one a gem . Congratulations Godfather |
