Someone along this thread mentioned key-pullers. I have a couple of IBM 
model M
keyboards that haven't been cleaned in years. They work well anyway, but 
I'd like to clean
the keys. Where could I get one of those key-puller tools?
(If you ever get a chance to get one, TAKE IT! There's no better 
keyboard anywhere than
this, altho it's too loud for a crowded office. And ALT-ESC will do the 
left Windows-key
trick for Windows users.)
