If, for some rea­son, you decide to pull a key off your Mac­Book (or in my case, Black­Book) key­board and can’t fig­ure out how to put it back on, there’s a great lit­tle walk-thru on flickr. Here’s a link to the set or you can watch the slideshow below.

By the way, there’s plenty of good rea­sons to pull a key off your key­board (clean­ing being one of them). If you just pull it off because you’re want­ing to avoid doing other work, just look at the pic­tures below instead. It’ll save you a lot of hassle.

For those of you that have a white mac­book and have had it for any length of time will notice the dis­col­oration of the palm rests. What once was a bright clean white mac­book as turned to a rather ugly look­ing colour. This can be an issue when you are show­ing off your amaz­ing Mac­book to your PC using friends. If you are like me you tried to use a vari­ety of clean­ers, windex, etc to clean it, all of which did noth­ing to solve the prob­lem. One of the best solu­tions is to go pick up a MR.CLEAN Magic Eraser. You will want to turn off the com­puter when you do this. Then apply the Damp Magic Eraser to the affected areas and wipe clean with a sec­ond cloth so as to remove the chem­i­cals and to dry it off. This should do the trick.
