Thanks for the tip! My Zoomer's screen already has a (small) scratch; I
don't want anymore! I think someone mentioned a screen cleaner that was
supposed to help fill in scratches as well; does anyone remember its name
was? (I am willing to bet that eyeglass cleaning solution would do the
trick, since many corrective lenses are plastic and the Zoomer's screen
surface is plastic as well; several of these cleaning solutions are supposed
to fill in small scratches. Anybody know if I'm right?)
