[GreenKeys] Retr0Bright Process - Results

[Simon Claessen]

hey there,

cool. i was contemplating using it on some of our machines, but there 
seems to be a fallback after a longer period.
I once put the plastics of a Apple Lisa on the roof of my house and they 
just sat there for a week or two in rain and sun. they were very clean 
and grey again afterwards. no retrobright or something else used, just 
weather and sunlight. Be aware that this was in The Netherlands during 
april, so not in the middle of summer. I will test this at our 
hackerspace later on with a obsolete computerpart while covering part of 
the plastic, so i can see what goes on.

The green on the model 33 keycaps seem to be desintergrating. especially 
where the fingers touch them. I have not found a way to restore that yet.
