How To Keep Your iMac Looking New

I'm not too crazy about how much dust my new 24" iMac attracts. None of my other CRT or LCD monitors or TVs have ever attracted so much in such a short time. I'm hoping it's caused by static or something only because it's so new. I hope what ever is attracting all the dust will soon wear off.

Apple also has a page on How to clean the plastics on your Mac.
