Do you wipe after you type

Do you wipe after you type :o

A keyboard has more germs than the average toilet seat..........apparently.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The best thing is to tip keyboards upside down and watch the crumbs fall out. Once that's gone the bacteria stops growing," she said.


Turns keyboard upside down over the trash can, watching crumbs fall out.

Problem solved.

Not new news. i have long known the keyboards were dirtier than toilet seats. I sometimes wipe and shake all the food crumbs out of it when I clean my computer.

You're quite aware that I keep my keyboard in the toilet -- you've seen what's typed out of it... :-[

[color=#003300]Having a problem getting to that last instruction: lost the keyboard in the flush... hope I don't lose this one.
Are you sure it isn't better to leave it wet? You should see some of the errant type that comes out of mine --

Simple answer... Wash your hands before you eat!

(or boil your keyboard every few weeks)
((or use voice recognition!))

I clean my keyboard every now and then. I shake it over the dustbin at least once a week, to get those crumbs out. Once a month I take a damp cloth to wipe the grease and other dirt off.

Crash ;)
