I have spilled coffee on many keyboards myself. Quite frankly, unless you have an expensive keyboard, why not just replace it? You can get a generic KB for less than $10. Even if you have an expensive one, it might well still be under warranty, in which case I would simply return it for a replacement. IMHO, the time and effort, not to mention the mental anguish spent on this venture is not time well spent. Good Luck, you will probably need it. --=20 Gerard gerard@seibercom.net Simulations are like miniskirts, they show a lot and hide the essentials.
