| 512519 | 2007-01-04 05:29:00 | Crumbs don't hurt . It's liquids which do the damage . Sticky liquids (such as suger rich ones) are the worst . Murphy's law has no exceptions . If liquids are near, they will get spilt sooner or later . The only safe rule is to keep them away . |

| 512521 | 2007-01-04 05:38:00 | Rule #1: never have a mouthful of fizzy drink while chatting online with a friend with a wicked sense of humour ... getting the sticky marks off the LCD is just as bad. :rolleyes: | Jen (38) | ||

| 512523 | 2007-01-04 05:42:00 | If I did not eat and drink at the keyboard I would starve, either through lack of productivity by taking meal breaks (no work=no money) or by not eating or drinking as I have not enough time to take the break .... But most keyboards will survive a trip through a dishwasher if done correctly and fully dried out after washing. |
