Shows how much I learnt.
When I was recycling PCs I used to clean them up well. I used the original keyboards, but first, washed them (!) using a brush and some detergent. The trick was that the whole operation had to be done, circus act style, with the keyboard upside down, so not a drop went in the wrong way. No mean feat I can tell you. But - back to the story - occasionally when I turned a keyboard upside down, what seemed like a whole packet of crisps fell out......... (I suspect pizza would be too big to fit between the keys) :-) -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
