The problem is that I used my laptop during my periods of feverish deliriousness, contaminating my shiny 15" MacBook Pro with the icky influenza virus. I am asking my fellow Slashdotters if they have ever sought out a good way of disinfecting their lucky laptops after an illness. Do you use soap? A light acid bath? Just get the family dog to lick it until it looks clean?"

I'm guessing his family or friends use the laptop, and he doesn't want THEM catching the flu. Otherwise, if just he uses it, he's a bit of an idiot for wanting to clean it now. Maybe the virus damaged his brain.
