| 431774 | 2006-02-17 22:27:00 | I lightly wet a small paint brush with iso and scrub the board, excellent for getting inbetween the keys. Though if it was actually grubby I would replace the KB, Not a real fan of dirty gear like that. If anything my KB's get the well used sheen on them like what Billy has, Not ingrained dirt..... |

| 431776 | 2006-02-19 16:01:00 | That may be well and good about dirty v clean fingers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but what about potato chips bits, fried chicken, pizza cheese, cookie crumbs and the occasional spillage of milk, tea, coffee or more adult beverages into the space between the keys? Pepsi and all the other variations of carbonated beverages are the worst though . I haven't lost a single key or keyboard yet though . . . . . . . I just turn mine over and whack it a few times on the back and generally let the foodstuffs fall out . (I do this with the 'puter turned off though!) I think the dishwasher thing might be a good idea in these circumstances . :nerd: |

| 431777 | 2006-02-19 18:33:00 | Keeping hands clean obviates the need to wash keyboards. My keys get polished from over-use, but never dirty. What with washing before and after meals, plus the inevitable comfort stops, routine hygiene practices ensure that dirty fingers are never an issue.All well and good in a home situation, but working in dusty machine rooms with machines full of years of operational dust - often installing rack mounted machines with greased rail kits it's just not practical to be going backwards and forwards to a sink all OCD style between using a keyboard and going back in there to keep working. Cheers Billy 8-{) While we're having fun, from another forums FAQ: Why do people sign their posts? Who are "-Brad -Kenneth -Amadon -NuclearFusion -Regards, Stoltenberg?" Some people see the need to sign their posts, even though their name is splattered all over the area where their post is. Signing your own post as someone else mocks them and their ways. The signers claim that they do it to make searching for their posts easier, but everyone knows that it's just egocentric bull****. |

| 431779 | 2006-02-19 19:37:00 | I regularly work in computer rooms, and find that there are generally two distinct types: Business, which are airconditioned and relatively clean (though rarely tidy), and industrial, occasionally air conditioned, which are full of dirt, dust, filthy keyboards etc, but usually surprisingly tidy. Maybe somebody isn't looking after their computer rooms properly ninja. I hadn't picked you as the industrial type. Cheers Billy 8-{) Sometimes a signature is just a signature, and like dreams, they don't require analysis. People put their name to their correspondence, even if it is plastered all over their letterhead and their envelopes as well. It is a practice born of education and good manners. No doubt most people sign their emails. |

People put their name to their correspondence, even if it is plastered all over their letterhead and their envelopes as well . It is a practice born of education and good manners . No doubt most people sign their emails . In oldfashioned correspondence, a signature is necessary . . . even if there's a letterhead . . . to say who wrote it . (And who is legally responsible for it ;)) In Internet newsgroup postings, a signature is necessary to identify the author . The general rule was that the name/address/pithy_quotation signature should be no more than four lines . In a forum such as this, where each posting is in its own box, with the author's name (or pseudonym) prominently displayed, a signature is redundant . And, like advertisements, any redundant matter often repeated becomes irritating . Even Parliament, which is not fussy about the content of speeches, has a rule against tedious repetition . "signatures" have a point in newsgroups . In forums such as this, they don't . That's why I have them suppressed . :D Unfortunately, there's always someone who will put a signature in the body of a posting . :( |
