      Isn't that getting a bit personal?

              Does anyone know of a simple sure-fire way to clean LCD screens, especially on laptops. You really can't apply too much pressure!

              ask the police to borrow their water cannon. That should do the trick ;P. Seriously though, a cloth which is a little moist should do the trick for you...

                  In other words you are petting the cat with your computer screen.... Not sure why someone voted you down, the cat probably loves it, but I bet it doesn't reduce static electricity!

                              A cat lover would know the cat would either purr from the extra attention, or sink a claw into you for the manhandling (cathandling?). My cats would have purred and helped brush the tail. :laugh: and then smiled evily when I got a static shock

                                    Well that was a fun waste of £3.50. I bought a cat one. The screensaver is fixed to 800x600, which is crap if you're using dual displays at 1920x1200 each. :( I know just the person who will appreciate it though, seeing as they are about as fanatical about cats as one can get without sprouting whiskers and a fluffy tail. :rolleyes:

                                        £3.50 is the cost of a Big Mac Meal, so I'm not too pissed off. I didn't want to eat tonight anyway. ;P

                                        I'm sure it will.

                                          Does anyone know of a simple sure-fire way to clean LCD screens, especially on laptops. You really can't apply too much pressure!

                                          you can't forget something you never knew...

                                          This has got to be the single most posted question in the lounge hands down. Nothing works quite like a belt sander with 60 grit or lower I find.
