Re^3: OT: Wash hands after computer use.

Keyboards only cost a few dollars

While keyboards costing around $5 exist, no typist would want to use those for longer than ten minutes. For in hospitals, the problem with the things is that they're not as reliable as you'd want them to be. I've always wondered why people still buy these crappy things. By coincidence, today I even saw someone clean such a cheap thing. I wouldn't even have bothered. In fact, I sometimes get used keyboards from people who think they can be of use to me, and I throw most away because cleaning them thoroughly is too much work. And I still have over 50 keyboards in stock. Does anyone want to buy a dvorak keyboard by any chance? It's okay, they're clean!

I have an idea, if you want it, you can patent it. :-) How about a "fast keyboard cleaner", which would be a handheld device, and could clean a keyboard "like a fast car wash". It would be about 10 inches wide, and would be moved slowly from left-to-right across the keyboard. The first stage would be a rotating wet bristle brush, kept soaked with a germicide-viricide mixture. It would be fed to a wet-dry vac for collection. That would be followed by a strong UV light and hot air blow-dry section. It probably would be a 2-part tool...first wet-brush-vac the keyboard, followed by a 2 minute UV-blowdry under a shoebox-size cover. I bet you could sell millions of them to health care organizations. Ok, I'll retire now. ;-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply]
