[SPARCbook] Keyboard cleaning

[Eric Busto]

I once took my MS natural keyboard apart completely, and used chlorox on 
everything (except the PCB and wire, of course).  It is similar internally 
to how you describe the sparcbooks keyboard to be (I've never taken the keys 
off mine).  Of course, I don't recommend this..
