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.

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

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ah. I was wondering why you couldn't just pitch it. That makes sense. And, because it hasn't been said enough yet, ewww.

WTF? Was he trying to pass this off as some kind of bizarre accident?

Share my pain! The keyboard in question.
That keyboard made me want to barf. I mean, my stomach actually lurched.
Note to self: clean keyboard today.
