gunk (Score 1)

recently i dumped a few ounces of coke on my keyboard, and suddenly the 'R' key became tab, the entire bottom row ceased to work, and the numbers got all scrambled. pretty much the only thing that functioned was the semi-colon key, but i mean, who uses that thing anyway? so i pried the whole thing apart, and on the advice of a friend took it into the shower and sprayed all the hideous, horrible debris off the keys and the pad underneath. i found the hair and the lint and the nails, but what disturbed me the most was that the majority of the gunk was cemented onto the keys and melted off. this keyboard was probably around for a few years and had never been cleaned, and the crap on it slid down the drain in an industrial-green slick. barf. i air-dried the whole thing lovingly, put it back together, and it still didn't work. it's mightily clean, though.
