Help! Got permanent marker on my screen!

I inadvertently got permanent marker on my screen during the brief period I didn't have the crystal protector on. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it off?
Ugh!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Permanent marker is not all that permanent.

Find an erasable marker, (like used to write on White boards). Mark over the permanent market with the erasable one. Erase.

Most of the time that does it.

Then RUN to the store and get a screen protector. ATT sells them. They are great for stuff like this.

I know you got this one resolved, but in case someone else has the same problems and icebike's tip doesn't work. You can put some alcohol (the medicinal kind, not the drinking kind) on a wipe and try that also.

The "drinking kind" works fine, too.

It worked! I just so happen to have dry erase with erasers. You rock! Thanks. Funny, I bought a protector last night but I bought the wrong one. Figures.
