Thank god my laptop is a family computer and there are only 4 possible culprits, and what are some good products for cleaning your screen and overall computer (I mean physically and not the hard drive)

Most likely iKlear. Best stuff I ever used. It comes w/ some nice cleaning clothes too.
 
Drives me nuts! I once had friends over after partying one night and this drunk girl who had been eating greasy pizza proceeded to take my Mac out of my bedroom and open it up declaring "she doesn't get what the big deal issssss overrr thessssee apples". Double whammy insulting my favorite company and greasy paw marks all over my MBP.

I would have killed her.
 
I really hate it when people touch the screens on my machines :mad: I won't forget one of my University professors who used his fingers and anything he was holding at the time to show us his Powerpoint slides. That was on a mainstream laptop however. I would have killed him if he had a Mac and did that lol!!
 
smudges are fine, you can gently clean them off. I'm more worried about the actual physical damage...if any...i should be worrying about.

I have a very curious two year old who frequently gives my Macbook screen a stab with his finger - and the screen is fine apart from the sticky finger prints that wipe off with the cloth Apple gave me.

I am quite vigorous with that cloth too - and never any damage.

I never got a cloth with my MacBook Pro :confused:

guess its one of those things that Apple gets cheap with... like remotes :mad:
 
Me neither!!I want that cloth!!

But i really hate those guys....Why do you really have to touch my screen???Oh the best part is when you try to touch theirs!!They will stop you and they may even get really mad!!!!!:mad:
 
What I hate is when women TAP the screen with their sharp pointy painted claws. GRRRR...

"Oh can you go HERE.." *TAP TAP TAP*

$(#)($q @)^#@ die die !$*@#!!!

Thank God that has never happened to me!!haahhahahahah:)That was nice!!!
 
Despite hating other people touching my screen, I do it myself occasionally to "point" out something. Then I swear at myself.

As with my Thinkpad, I do it as much as possible... ;)
 
I had a meeting with a new client today, showing them my 3D work for their project and in the first three minutes I had to yell: "DON'T TOUCH THE SCREEN" and made finger chopping motions, and after that they were fine and they commissioned more work. But probably not because I yelled at them for trying to mess up my screen.
 
Not about touching an LCD... But since we're on the topic of people mistreating our laptops...

I once had a teacher walk over in order to look at something on my MBP screen in class. I was sitting in a chair with my MBP on the table in front of me, she was standing. In order to get a better viewing angle at the screen she grabbed the top of the screen and opened it as wide as possible... apparently that wasn't enough. Even though the screen wouldn't hinge open any further she kept trying to "slam" it back. I thought she was going break it off.

It happened so fast that I didn't realize what she was going to do until it was too late. Luckily it didn't break.
One time in science my teacher got sort of mad because I had my MBP but not my book(We really don't do ANYTHING in that class, most of the time we will open our books and he will start to lecture a small group of students and that will last the whole hour and the person next to me had a book that we could share). Anyway he said put it up and before I could move forward to do so he slammed it shut and started to walk off with it:eek:. I hurried to get up and get it back. On topic I HATE when people touch my screen. Even when it is not MY computer.
 
I'm the same I always yell at people if they are going to touch my screen. Hands off!

You're from Arabia by any chance? I thought "hands off" was for stealing the Mac, not for touching the screen?
 
Lol, I can't bear it when people touch the screen - strangely enough one of my IT technicians does it all the time. Every time I go to their lab I tell them to clean the monitors. It's a pet hate of mine. But then so is dirty keyboards - I have a packet of wet wipes and my keyboard and mouse get cleaned every couple of days.

I'm going to be unbearable next week as I'm getting a new Eizo monitor - I've already bought a monitor cover out of my own pocket which I'll be putting over it every night to make sure our cleaners don't go near it. I think I'm a bit too anal about my kit :rolleyes::D

But you should see the state some of our gear comes back in - I run a small IT department and we have a laptop pool - the state that some of our gear comes back in. I was almost in tears last week as one of my lovely 12" screen HPs came back with a big ding in the case. I think I take it a bit to personally :eek::D
