iBook Clamshell

I recently purchased a iBook g3 "clamshell"

There is some tape residue underneath the Apple Logo
Does anyone have some Tips on how to get this off?
Thanks in advance.

... And makes your iBook smell like oranges on steroids for the rest of its life.

Is that available at places like wal mart?

Its avalible just about anywhere. Another option is "OOPS! Multipurpose Remover" It works really well without the citrus smell.

My wife uses peanut butter to remove sticky residue. Never fails. It can be found in your pantry

Non-stick cooking spray like Pam works well for things like this. I've even used it to remove stubborn stickers (the ones that just don't come off, and leave paper AND glue behind) from book covers, with no visible residue.

Here in Australia I use Eucalyptus Oil. Very similar to most "goo-removers".

One word of warning. I always clean the area after removing the sticky label residue with a mild detergent. Why? I once left a tissue with Eucalyptus Oil on it sitting on a plastic coaster overnight. By morning, the tissue was fused to the coaster.

I don't know if this applies to other "goo-removers".
