I just grab my cat and take his tail in hand and wipe the dust off that way.
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!

Cat lovers. And I intentionally left out all emoticons, so some people probably think I'm serious! :-D Actually, my cat loves to sleep under the monitor on the desk, and yes, the tail sometimes brushes off the dust when he wags it. Marc

What if you have a hairless sphynx?
that's even better - it's like a chamois ... with claws.

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...

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

Yeah, it came with the wife. It's actually pretty cool if you like demons with rat tails.
Are you talking about the wife or the cat? :cool:

http://www.theslurps.com/[^] seriously though... I just use my eyeglass cloth and liquid (spray the cloth, not the screen)

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:

I use them as jokes... sorry! You could have used camstudio and an avi to screensaver tool and not wasted the money... :( They make a great joke, not an application.... :sigh: hopefully it will make a good gift though. :cool:

£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

"Watching Migthy Joe Young made me hate my life..................................I want a gorilla!" A. HavemannI very soft, cotton cloth (or the soft Bounty paper towels) and plain water seem to work the best. Sometimes I use eye glass cleaner (the small bottles you buy at Walmart, for example) for the first pass, but it leaves light streaks that drive me crazy.

"Watching Migthy Joe Young made me hate my life..................................I want a gorilla!" A. HavemannTo clean spot stains (oil from fingers, or something that splashed on the screen and dried) use a Q-tip. They're gentle enough that you can press a bit to work the stuff loose. If it's a persistent stain, get the cotton tip wet, then squeeze out all the water you can, which should leave the cotton just barely damp.

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.
Yes and look at the huge response, got about 1, maybe 2 serious answers. Serves me right for posting in the lounge! :rolleyes:
