javacat | What lies beneath

I finally remembered to take home, scrub & dry, my contoured wrist rest and mouse pad. Inspired, I cleaned my keyboard when I got to work. It was scary how much cruddy dust came out of it as I shook it upside down and brushed it with an old typewriter eraser/sweeper brush. THEN. 15 minutes of isopropyl alcohol & paper towels later? It turns out that my keyboard is not pale grey beneath the grime, it is white. GAH. Several keys are completely worn off, heh.
