I'v cleaned my keyboard many times before,
doesn't the US use standard hex keys?
I just went to my local hardware store and purchase a pack of hex keys, then tried all of them to see which one fitted. ironically, it was the smallest one.

No spunk in my keyboard, but it's good to know that I'm not the only one using gc's slideshow for that purpose.

I've had the same problem. I wrote down the steps to take to open the case without breaking anything as a PDF. http://www.christiansimon.com/portfolio/ (scroll to the bottom of the page).
No food or drinks near the machines... so, my keyboard is clean except for a little dust. Ahh, the benefits of O.C.D!

I have a velvet rope around my system.
I don't even let myself around my computer.
What perfect thread timing. I just looked under my clear Apple KB the other day. Blegh.
Has anybody here ever disassembled one of these? And put it back together? I'm going to have to go buy a small hex key for it but I don't want to do it if it's a waste.
I tried using compressed air but that doesn't work on the bottom.

2.) Kool-Aid
3.) Mildew
4.) Peanuts
5.) Sunflower seeds
6.) Peanut Butter
7.) Jelly
8.) Cookie crumbs
9.) Grass/Dirt
10.) Ink from various pens
11.) Cat hair
12.) Dog hair
13.) Human hair
14.) A "Greenish" acid type liquid
15.) All kinds of Soda Pop
16.) Dorito crumbs
17.) Oil
18.) Fingernail Polish
19.) Hairspray

Woah! there's an Apple logo on the bottom side of my keyboard. I've cleaned underneath the keyboard several times but I never flipped it over. Found some cellophane this time, not sure where it came from.

Phew, I just happened to find a 1980 Topps #482 hiding underneath my keyboard...
cat hair and various crumbs from breakfast.
I don't have a TV so my morning ritual finds me in front of the computer
reading the news and checking out what happened in this over night.
