Funny you mention it, my roommate just went grocery shopping and decided to get me some alcohol since I've been bitching about getting some for a few days.
She came back with a bottle entitled "Rubbing Alcohol Isopropyl" and below that, 70%.
my point is that generally speaking, you dont want water near anything electronic. besides, and aside from the cleaning aspect, "rubbing" alcohol evaporates much much slower than "pure" iso alcohol.
