Re: Coca Cola on the keyboard

I was wondering if I should use detergent or not, actually. As it turned
out, this afternoon the little angel dumped a glass of soda on my spare! I
ended up running out and spending $15 on a cool Logitech with all sorts of
hotkeys programed in. The best part is, the keys are so soft and cushiony!
:-) I'll throw the other two in the dishwasher and see what happens because
if I don't, they're going in the garbage. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
Now I just have to fill up the load in there so I can run the dishwasher
with just the two keyboards in there.
