	All the various "wipes" available for computer screens and
other office equipment seem to be the same:  cellulose dampened with
rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol).  It smells medicinal but
evaporates quickly and leaves no odor.  One comes across Handi-Wipes
here and there for general public use (as in fried chicken
restaurants, I think), which are the same but lemon-scented, a
lingering odor and a gratuituous one for computer workstations, in my
view.  But not particularly harsh at that brief exposure.
