Suppose, in your wildest flight of imagination, “your” (definitely not mine! Never would have done such a thing!) child were to mark on your gorgeous wide screen flat panel TV with a Sharpieâ„¢ permanent marker. Destructo! Only options would be to throw out the TV and place the child in a barrel and feed them through the bung hole, right? (The Mark Twain Method of Childraising. ;-))
Another option from PC Mag’s DL.TV: mark over the Sharpieâ„¢ permanent marker with a dry erase marker, then erase that with a micro fiber cloth. Link to the video here. Watch the “Surface” video if you want, but click on the “Clean Panel” video link to see The Amazing Sharpieâ„¢ Cleanup! 😉
Oh, and need to “idiot-proof” the computing experience for someone? Check out the video on the “$99” Linux box while you’re there. Why the scare quotes? Cos it’s $99+$156/year for two year service contract. (But the service is what makes it idiot-proof.) $250 for a standalone version w/o the service. Neat lil box, a concept that’s usable in the real world by real people in real homes, unlike the Me$$y$oft Surface project that looks useful only in casinos or such.
