Well, let's not forget about having the word "login:" burned into the |
| 32 |
screen too. Me, I always turned mine off when I left for the day. |
| 33 |
Everyone else tho, they could see their login prompt all the time, just |
| 34 |
in a slightly different color. o_- |

Oh, I usually fixed the keyboards after someone spilled Dr Pepper on |
| 37 |
them too. Start off with water, hot if possible, then move up to 99% |
| 38 |
alcohol. Once that is done, place the keyboard on the A/C condenser |
| 39 |
outside and let the heat and fans dry it. Since they regularly were |
| 40 |
blowing 150F air, it doesn't take long. |
