"Can you REALLY wash them under the tap???"

Absolutely and highly recommended! This one has finally dried out enough to not creat a malfunction on the PC when plugged in
I did indeed wash it under the tap with a pile of dishes in the sink

New one hasn't arrived yet (why does it always take at least 1 extra day for the post to get to Edinburgh? )

This keyboard was my first and suffered minor wine damage but was still useable in practical terms (number keys don't work but number pad does etc), so got 2 more from a generous friend in IT

Guess what happened to them! Although I did attempt to wash them I don't think I was thorough enough or quick enough so only one was useable.

Which... yep you guessed it got wine damaged

So I rotated the keyboards changing to the least affected one each time!
So while this one dried out after getting the other night, I had only the use of the very crippled keyboard - the rather annoying posts you saw - but at least I could log in to places etc

Plugged this in last night and got major failure on pC so thought it was really ed but today it is a happy-ish keyboard

And so the story of they keyboards

The moral of the story? Learn to drink wine with left hand!!

she can type normaly

"

Or - sort out a proper computer desk. Or stop drinking wine at the PC.

Or, drink wine through straw. You get drunker quicker that way. Not that i'd know being only 15 and all...

Urgent gift for Mort!

1 x economy pack straws.
Ditto bibs, tissues, stress balls.





Oh yeah! And a crate full of wine!

I drank a whole bottle tonight and never spilled a drop!!

Now if I can just manage to drink this tea, with Spiggy cat purring in my right ear, Spooky cat sat on my knee, the keyboard balanced on the end of the sofa (along with Spiggy cat) take my tablets and not burn the flat down with my ciggy then all will be fine

Zagreb - nothing wrong with my PC workstation - the problem arises because I insist in sitting on the sofa, craning my neck to look at the monitor and resting the keyboard on the arm of the sofa - and using the keyboard shelf for drinks and the ashtray, as well you know!

Although I have moved it slightly so it is a little more user friendly!

I like to surf in comfort, what's wrong with that?! - apart from the collateral damage - talking of which, hopefully new keyboard should arrive tomorrow!!

Probably best not to mention the time the cat was sick on the keyboard!

Was it choking on the mouse?

Ivan that's evil! I absolutely do not advocate cruelty to animals.

Uh, guys? Do we advocate cruelty to animals on here?

I wasn't advocating anything of the sort.

Good good. Cruelty to animals is wrong. Cruelty to teachers is merely what they deserve. Hehehe.

Good good. And please don't be cross with me, Ivan. You know I love you really.
Cruelty to animals is wrong. Cruelty to teachers is merely what thy deserve.

Sorry about the double post. Computer weirded out on me.

He had eaten some baked beans with melted cheese - that I had left on a plate which I then put on the floor (which I hate, so why I did this time I shall never know)

So not only was it cat sick but baked beans and cheese cat sick

That was a particularly vile job and involved use of finger nails to dig out the bits. Keyboard survived though - it was this one
