Re: Strange habbits Baeltazor4-Aug-09 1:42 Baeltazor 4-Aug-09 1:42  maybe he's a Germophobe. Regards, Jason Pezzimenti. Re: Strange habbits Battlehammer4-Aug-09 4:18 Battlehammer 4-Aug-09 4:18  Yes, he is. When he buys a bottle of soda, he washes it for 10 minutes before opening it. What's strange is, he has the filthiest car that I have ever seen and at times even his clothes look dirty. I have read where some of these germophobes are so afraid of dirt that they don't wash certain things. He is also one of the smartest programmers that I have ever met. Go figure. :confused I hope you don't fell this is cynical W∴ Balboos, GHB3-Aug-09 6:22 W∴ Balboos, GHB 3-Aug-09 6:22  I hope you don't fell this is cynical, but at the time I'm typing this, there are nine (9 !) who clean their keyboards daily. Why do I feel that someone has waaaaaaay tooooooo much time on their hands?* * DUst can't settle on a busy keyboard !

BobBlack15913-Aug-09 5:19 BobBlack1591 3-Aug-09 5:19  I have seen many CPU heat sinks totally loaded with "dust bunnies." Of course, by that time, it has generally been a "port mortum" to see why the computer died! It is especially important if you locate your CPU on the floor, to pop the case and blow out all of the dust on a regular basis. Yearly is NOT too often! My personal computers at home get cleanned out on a six month rotation... No set schedule. John M. Drescher3-Aug-09 3:39 John M. Drescher 3-Aug-09 3:39  However it is more frequently if there is a bottle of Windex in the same room. John Keyboard yes / Mouse yes / computer no Corporal Agarn3-Aug-09 3:24 Corporal Agarn 3-Aug-09 3:24  I am one of the people who need to clean the mouse weekly (track ball helped). I clean my key board every month or so. The computer we take outside and wear masks and safety glasses to blow the dust bunnies out every year or two. Forgot to say when I clean the monitors is when I point to something and the dust falls off. Science Experiments... Karl Sanford3-Aug-09 2:52 Karl Sanford 3-Aug-09 2:52  This survey reminds me of a high school science experiment I did a long time ago. We were tasked with taking cultures of everyday objects and seeing if we could get anything to grow on an agar dish. Our team took swabs from a urinal, car tires, lockers and a teachers keyboard. After two weeks in a warm dark environment, the culture from the teachers keyboard had twice as much 'stuff' growing on it than anything else! The next was the culture from the lockers, then the tires, and the urinal was the cleanest. "It's like the sixties, but with less hope." Re: Science Experiments... John M.

W∴ Balboos, GHB3-Aug-09 1:12 W∴ Balboos, GHB 3-Aug-09 1:12  Whenever I spill my coffee and it gets into the keyboard. It's really only a token gesture, making the keyboard comfortable as its keys stop working one-by-one. Fortunately, I am right-handed, so it only disables the less-important keys, such as those on the keypad and ENTER.

Monitor are cleaned regularely, at least once a week. Does this count Mycroft Holmes2-Aug-09 19:18 Mycroft Holmes 2-Aug-09 19:18  Does turning the keyboard upside down and banging it on the desk count as a clean? The monitor on the other hand gets a wipe every now and then. I hate people who poke the screen and point out someting, bloody fingerprints on the monitor .

I usually retire the keyboard about then by declaring it a bio hazard. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH Re: Does this count Reelix2-Aug-09 21:21 Reelix 2-Aug-09 21:21  I'd retire my keyboard, except it's the best Guitar Hero 3 keyboard ever - Works with all the keys, and good to play! Granted, I COULD pay $150 for the little guitar, but that's totally besides the point -= Reelix =- Re: Does this count KarstenK2-Aug-09 20:59 KarstenK 2-Aug-09 20:59  This is a "standard clean". A "Full service clean" is additional some rubbing with a wet cleenex. Press F1 for help or google it.
