Well, I popped the key off, and then discovered I could not scratch the 
Sprite bits away because they were in the shaft of the key itself...so I 
took some of my disk head cleaning solution...and poured a tiny drop or two 
down the sides of the shaft...I wonder..was this prudent at this juncture? I 
mean, when it dries, it wont utterly and completely destroy my key, will 
it? I am glad I got your message because I was about to pop the whole 
machine open...wooo! Thanks.
