I have a friend who was (still is I believe) a major Apple and Mac
consultant in the NYC area. I remember he used to have is bath tub
filled with Apple ][ and Mac cases to let them soak in cleaning solution
for several hours (sometimes overnight) and then he'd rinse them down
and clean them off. So seeing stuff go through the dishwasher is not
surprising, the IMPORTANT thing is, DO NOT DO HEATED DRYING on the
dishwasher cycle, otherwise the heat with bend and warp the plastic
casings. (Does a mean job of destroying plastic forks and spoons, so I
would assume it would be no less damaging to computer plastics)

I should've put a note in the original message. I _don't_ want to
dredge back up the tired thread of washing computer parts. ;)

It does work though. Soaking is best. I've used about
a quart of ammonia to 4-5 gallons of water and some
laundry detergent. Ammonia gets into EVERYTHING. Don't
use too much though.

I used to have a girlfriend who claimed that you could clean eating
utensils in a dishwasher!

I think a lot a people need to learn the proper way
to clean a good keyboard. $5 keyboards you can hand to
the gorilla at the zoo and get it back better than
what I expect a dishwasher do to your inside of the keyboard.
