I'm sure I corrected that....

Hibernation.

Maybe I was thinking of Ain Rand, which she spelled Ayn Rand.

My R is sticking too.

How do you take the keys off a lap top to clean under them?

Plug in an external keyboard and use that. That's how I do it.

I pry them off with an ax.

Haven't figured out how to get them back on, though...

First, hold your keyboard on edge and tap it on the desk. The turn it upside down and shake it.

If that doesn’t release the ‘cooties’ then just lift up on the offending key. You can use a table knife for leverage but don’t be too rigorous. Once you have the key off, tap the keyboard on the desk and turn it upside down.

I try to do mine once a month, at least.

The problem is not taking them off but in putting them back. In their original place. *\;-)

It is easy to get the caps off of the keys...the hard part is getting them back on.

It is actually easier to replace the keyboard than the key caps. I got one for my wife's Dell on eBay for a penny plus $4.99 S/H.
