    Disgusting! That thing belongs in a garbage bin. We have sanitizing wipes at work we use to clean our keyboards but I don't even think one of those would do any good for that thing! It just needs to be trashed!

    Once upon a time I was a pc repair shop manager & tech...I hung photos on the walls over the work spaces, in full view for customers, of what the inside of computers look like when they are not properly cared for. Had on client who was a smoker, I smoked at the time too, but the smell emanating from his pc had me coughing, hacking and gagging...

    Never, in over 20 years, I have I understood why people don't treat their computers like the delicate machines they are. Then wonder why "my computer doesn't work, what happened?!"

    :grumble: :grumble:

    Try being IT in a school district. I touch computers that have been touched by hundreds of children every day. But what's even more gross, the teacher's laptops! Who knows what some of them do with those things at home. No way do I want some of those laptops anywhere near my lap. Gloves and hand sanitizer are my two best friends.

    slightly off-topic, but this reminded me of when my son was in 3rd grade and figured out how to flip the screen upside down on his computer. He thought it would be funny to do it to all the computers in the comp lab. IT teacher was NOT amused. Had to have my son show him how to fix them. Almost suspended him for messing with school property, but I think he was embarrassed that an 8 yr old knew something he didn't.
