The Crud-Free Keyboard

I asked Stephanie Jobs, my guru in all things Apple, for the correct way to clean my Mac.
“Take an old T-shirt,†he said, “Dampen it with clean water, and gently pass it over the monitor.â€â€œWhat about the keys?†I asked. “Should I get a can of compressed air and blow the debris out from between the keys?â€
“No!†he shuddered. “You could get one of those little vacuum cleaners for your keyboard.†That would not only solve my cat hair problem, but also remove the bits of my own hair and skin cells that have fallen onto the keys. Like Ethan Hawke in Gattaca. That way, if evil masterminds are planning to clone me illegally, they won’t get my DNA off my MacBook.The Crud-Free Keyboard in Emotional Weather Report, yesterday in the Star.

I take a deep breath then blow as hard as i can. Haha (they obviously don’t work well). Where can you buy those little vacuum cleaners? My laptop keys can be archaeological sites already.
