The authors says the keyboard reflects what is in your nose and your gut. So, if we all stop picking our noses and puking on the keyboards, all will be just fine.

NOW I know why I run the office here instead of my Wife. Although since I've steadfastly kept the same old 1.99 Compaq ps2 keyboard through my last 5 Computer builds I've got to wonder....

So do we use the keyboard to go to the loo and use the toilet bowl for word processing?

Well, toilet seats are kind of a bad comparison since they're actually surprisingly clean (they're typically too dry for bacteria to thrive), compared to, say, door handles on the toilet doors.

You haven't seen the head after my Night Shift guy gets done with it......

Plenty of "moisture" there, My Wife grouses about it every day after he works!

I'm not surprised, I have heard some horror IT stories, one included a half eatern sandwich left inside a computer case!

After watching some of the students here in my Library, I'm going to start wearing one of thoese Biohazard suits they use in chemical clean ups!
