Use strong, cool air to blow the water away. I always
use compressed air from a supply for pneumatic tools.
Blowing the water away instead of drying avoids stains
from calcium and other dispensed materials (Well, Munich
water is _very_ 'strong' :).

Wooah - a Ziplock Bag ? Together with the energy cost
for your dishwasher this tripples the value of the C64
board :)
