Ew. Tom, tell me you're not staying in the same room with that. One zap of static and it's going to be wrestling with Clovis for world domination.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My boss gave me permission to send it to be cleaned, and bill it back to the user's department.

Ewww. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just replace it?

Tom,
at what point do you say: "what the fuck? Just order a new keyboard."

On the upside, if they ever discovered anything untoward on that user's harddrive, he'd have a believable case if he said, "My keyboard made me do it."

I've already replaced the user's keyboard with a spare. The question is whether to get this cleaned and returned to the spare pool, or to get a new one.
The problem is that Sun type 5 keyboards have a special connector on the end that no one manufactures any more.

I'm curious how shrift's user managed to turn his keyboard into black cornflakes, though.
Something about a combination of acetone and a hairdryer. I'm not entirely sure, was laughing too hard to ask.
shrift, has it really only been two years. It seems so much longer.
I knooooow.
