	I was especially shocked to hear someone was using Windex, since
someone on comp.sys.laptops ruined her 560's display by spraying
cleaner right on the display, which ran down into the circuitry and
created a short in the connectors (I'm guessing); the result was a
green vertical line across her TFT display, which she sold to someone
on the group for about $600 or so - later the new owner was posting
asking if anyone knew a fix.
	I myself prefer lens cloths, or a clean handkerchief (though the
display seems to just suck the lint off, in addition to being a dust
magnet).
