 Did all that... WD40, Metho, then I washed it with detergent in the
sink after nearly ruining my fingers pulling the bloody keys out,
dried it in the sun, put it back together and... SHIT! So I gave the
dog a good kicking and dumped it in the wheely bin (not the dog, the
Honeywell).

 My advice is that if you tip a glass of chardonnay into a keyboard,
don't keep using it. Having stripped the bloody thing, I now know that
the keys are pretty-well isolated form the tracks underneath, but if
you keep typing it pumps the chardonnay down itno the works.

Regards,
Bob
