Cleaning the ol' 3b1.

[J. Eric Townsend]

I've been thinking about ways to clean off the outside of my 3b1.  That
wonderful textured surface is great at picking up body oil that dirt
can stick to, along with all the normal day-to-day dirt that comes with
a computer being in an old house for two years, with daily (6+ hours)
usage.

I've tried isopropyl and a rag, that seems to work ok.  I'm tempted to
take all the plastic off and dunk it in with the dishes.  I've done
it with other computers... :-)

Actually, with my Commodore C64's, I put a coat of primer and a coat of
gloss paint on 'em.  They looked snazzy and they just wiped off.

Maybe I should paint the 3b1 matte black, ala NeXT.
