Techies -- if I seemed flippant in the comment about the hantavirus being carried by your (PC-) mouse, you did not see me wearing face mask and rubber gloves as I misted the interior of an Autopiano with diluted Clorox on starting to clean it out a few months ago. Absolutely the worst mouse mess I have ever seen, keys frozen with droppings and debris and generally discolored with urine. Before the notices about the hantavirus appeared, I had cleaned out perhaps hundreds of pianos and reed organs. Taking the warning seriously, I got all the data I could get hold of from CDC and our state Department of Health before starting. The Virus humor provided an escape valve. Bill Maxim >
