Remember to use anhydrous (water free) alcohol or it will leve streaks and residue. This can be found at electronics stores and the like. Also, avoid the stuff from drug/grocery stores because hey can contain 10 to 30 percent water.
Don't worry, I use anhydrous alcohol on PC boards almost daily with no ill effect.
I once had an 80 MB IBM hard drive. Left it in the workshop in an open anti-static bag. It rained, and of cource, the roof started to leak right into the bag. The hard drive sat in the stagnent water for about two days. When I discovered the problem, I showed it to my dad, who, in his infinite wisdom, decided to bounce the thing on his knee to get the excess water out of it.
I came back to the hard drive about a week later to plug it in and see how badly it was damaged (Wanted to hear it crunch and grown.) But, to my suprise, the thing booted with no trouble, plus it had not one bad cluster.

Just don't buy the album because the Beastie Boys suck. I have a Win XP and Linux PC here, and the lack of buying this CD has not affected either one.
All recomending Ad-Aware got me was $5 for lunch.

They don't make 'em like that any more.
