Leeneia sez: My rule no. 1 is "no drinks at the computer desk." My rule is: use a heavy, wide-based glass that won't tip when the cat jumps up on the desk. The advice from Guest above is good. Keyboards are fairly well sealed on top. Storing them face-down for a week should fix most things after a spill. Gnu's video link gives good advice for sticky spills. I drink Canadian while Mudcatting. It's not sticky, and it keeps me in a good mood. I figure on keyboards lasting about a year, sometimes two. I buy Microsoft keyboards in three-packs from Amazon for about ten bucks per keyboard. Now, if you're using a laptop, follow leeneia's rule. -Joe-
