The folks behind "RetroBright" are all good people, but they use concentrations of H202 that are just beyond reason. ... you only need cheap, drug store 3% peroxide to do the job, …

Just MHO, and I am no mod here, but I reckon if Apple's abandoned support for it and shunted it off to the "Older machines" page, then it belongs here. ISTR PPC w…
