Flickr Find: Toddler+PowerBook+Sharpie+Rubbing Alcohol = No problem

Yeah, thats my kid...powerbook is all clean now thanks to my amazing wife who jumped in there and saved the day with some rubbing alcohol, which worked great...i then went over it again with some iKlear and its all good.

oh and no chauvinism here...Thomas nailed it on the head..parents share and split the work, I was in shock when i first spotted it and froze...my wife new what to do and speedily cleaned it up thus saving the day!

The comments about chauvinism are just silly, and likely coming from non-parents. Smart parents divide the work -- usually unconsciously. If the woman takes the rubbing alcohol challenge up faster than the man, so what. . . so go make a baby and get a life.

reminds me of being a kid and shoving sandwiches in the vcr, those were the good ole days:)

I really wouldn't recommend rubbing alcohol too much. I had some dirt on my powerbook g4 and rubbing alcohol stripped the paint off. Luckily it was on the little dip by the arrow keys, so it isn't too noticeable.

the kid is real cute but the guy comes off as kind of a chauvinist making his wife clean the markings all off for him.

3 days ago my two-and-a-half year old son popped off 24 Powerbook key caps within 5 minutes [yikes!]. I accounted only for 21, still looking for the other 3 (and yes, I checked his diapers)

Honestly, if it was my kid and my PB, I'd probably freak. But looking at the pic, I can't help but think it almost looks cool and if the ink didn't impact use, then I'd keep it.

Is it too late to abort?!

It looks like he was just trying to mimic PNY's XLR8 logo.
