Not Very High-Tech, but........

Post by MacTheWolf (imported) »

My keyboard was acting up tonight. The space bar was sticking. An annoying problem considering I type up lots of historical stuff every night.

I had planned on going to Wallmart and getting a new keyboard tomorrow as they're under $20.

Instead, I took the 15 screws out of my keyboard, and shook out all of the dust and tobacco.

Now my keyboard seems to work fine.

I remember one of my users called in a panic one day, said the 3 key was stuck. It was, I turned the key board and beat it on the desk for a bit, turned it back and left this huge mess on her desk and said, Quite eating over your key board.

Mac, that is a very common problem, they do make pads that sit over the key board for users like you.

That pads or any protection make typing somewhat difficult. I am never comfortable with them. However it it good idea to replace the keyboard.

It may be time to clean the coils behind your refrigerator too.
