short takes

We visited with my parents (and sister) this afternoon. Ironically, my father is also contemplating digitization of his music collection.

Does anyone know where I can get some of those microfiber cloths that sometimes come with glasses and things with delicate screens? Or, failing that, a reliable way to wash them so that they (1) get clean and soft and (2) don't die in the wash?

Microfiber cloths: the cheapest you'll find is in the auto section of KMart or Target. They're the same microfiber cloths, but cheaper because they're not being marketed for monitor cleaning.

Thanks! The auto section had not occurred to me.
