I have a newish G4 of 2/2003 vintage and...over the few months I've used this thing, I've managed to get some bread crumbs inside the keyboard case...:-((no more eating breakfast at the mac) Anyone know what size hex (allen) wrench is needed to open this thing up so I can clean it?

SMALL.
I have a full set of nuts for every different kind of screw or bolt ... but none for they keyboard. Let's just say that my smallest hex nut, 1/16th, isn't small enough. 1/32nd maybe? I'd like to know too.

Glenn,
Just you a compressed air spray (available at Staples).
Basically, it shoots air in the keyboard so all the crumbs are wooshed away.
Try it before opening the keyboard.
