I think I'm glad I didn't click on the link.

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."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Oh. My. God. I gagged look at that keyboard.

Good lord.

I think you need to put up a biohazard sign on the user's door/cube.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I have crumbs and staples in my keyboard, and have been agitating to open it up and shake it out. I need a hex tool though... I've done all I can (which was pretty significant) with the air tube thingie.

makes note to bring that in tomorrow.
