Computer equipment and bugs

[chewtoyofthegods]

...was using the handheld microscope the other day...
in an idle moment..pointed it at the keyboard..
...whats that glittering down there..in between the keys..way..down..
below the key caps..

...*stare at the monitor..go to max light on the scope..
lordy..it's fibers..a whole herd o' morgy fibers..with..yella' goo
and everthing..they's living down there...or..if not.."living"..they's
doing whatever it is they do..without need of my skin!

argh!...[grit teeth and blast them out with the "can o' air"..
hate doing that..it just launches them into near space..
and they'll land..anyplace..anyplace at all..

..might just try washing this corded keyboard..don't know why
folks are focusing so hard on using the "dishwasher"..seems a bit
more violent than necessary..a tub of water should do well..
...choice of soap is a bit..important..don't want to leave a chemical
"haze" over the carbon key contacts...or a conductive haze between
the printed circuit traces..

...thorough rinsing is key..I reckon..
caution advised for folks with hard water..mineral deposits could
really be problematical..

...no more "air blasting" known morg fibers into the air..
from the keyboard anyway..

the desktop puter otoh..well..it will never take a bath..
the air cannister will have to suffice.
