When I spoke to IBM (last year) they suggested that I use some Windex
and a paper towel... And that's worked fine since then.
However, I don't touch the screen and I keep the lid closed when I am
not using it, so it dosen't get that dirty. (And that's probably the
best way to keep it clean.... KEEP YOUR FINGERS OFF IT! ;-) )
