    We have an employee who put this on his notebooks screen...
    It cost him $2,300.00 for this mistake!

    Click the link to see the product. Might be good for your CRT "GLASS" BUT NOT A NOTE BOOK[ ;)]
    Notice the "all HYPE" marketing piece....[8D]

    Unbelieveable!
    I'm not so sure I would even use such a product on my television...unles the TV was an old POS I didn't care too much about.

    This was really dumb on his part. He asked me "What do ya think" Whenever any one askes me "what do ya think" I know he's not thinking for him or her self...

    I said "jason" are you sure you want to try this liquid on you notebook screen? its just plastic man!???!!! I went to lunch.
    when I got back to my office he was in a frenzy trying every type of
    cleaner in my janitors locker... I don't know if it was a chemical reaction or what but the screen literaly turned "WHITE"! like a sheet of paper!

    When he turned it on to see if anything was visible it flashed bright blue (like the screen of DEATH) and then shut off. I have never seen a grown man cry like this in my life. I mean he turned bright red... Eyes teared up and he let out a moan like I have never heard or want to hear again!

    When I went to get my digi cam to get a picture of it, he had alread left for the day. This was a very expensive mistake $2,300.00 and his wife is NOT HAPPY!!!

    Jason is my company IT supervisor.... Go figure!!![ ;)]

    $2300? What did he mess up? Dell XPS or XPS 2? Is he covered for accidental coverage I wonder...He may be better off leaving it on a bus stop bench...walk away and then report it stolen....
