Ketchup!

Folks, small hint.

When eating bagels with last nights left over sausages, don't add too much ketchup then go on locostbuilders.

Its a bugger to clean out of your keyboard.

I'll add that to my list of handy hints - now where did I put it?

Ketchup is nothing...

My company designs and manufactures custom computer keyboards for all sorts of applications. We also have a service department that clean and refurbish keyboards. They get units back coverd in sick, blood (yes really) and sometimes worse (you don't want to know what they get upto in prisons)

For the price of your off the shelf PC keyboard I'd bin it and get another one

.... crack cocaine attacks plastic keys? They stopped giving 'em Bromide then... still, better on a keyboard than the nasty alternative that may have landed them in there in the first place.

What are they doing with computers in prison? I want to know why my tax money is being wasted on this . I hope they learn something constructive like hacking bank terminals or something to get them into mainstream employment when they get out.

pc keyboards cost about 6 quid - whats the point of refurbing them?

Err......... to save 6 quid. Money better spent on something else.

you wouldnt save £6 pounds though, even if you have a YT kid on £3 an hour it wouldnt be stripped cleaned and rebuilt in 2 hours, and i doubt that they have YT kids doing it!

Guess I'm looking at this from a different perspective.

Refurb keyboard myself and save 6 quid........ if my keyboard needed re-furbing............... and I wanted to spend the money on something better
