Very Very Dirty

Just add the brushthingie that should have come with you "dustsucker" (is this right?) and use it on the keyboard evertime you dust your room, also worthy to note that dust in your computer can actually slow it down, so keeping your computer room as free of dust as possible isn't a bad thing.

Your "dustsucker" is called a vacuum cleaner

No idea if any english talking people is using such a word, but "dustsucker" is the direct translation from norwegian :P

I don't wank near my computer.. but NEVER EVER touch my remotes.....

Wait a tick....Is the term "Wanker" that I believe the Brits use referring to people who masterbate all day?

I use only OLD OLD ibm keyboards from like 1984... i LOVE them.. they are heavy... they have super loud clicky keys that feel amazing.. and i take them apart a few times a year and soak all the keys in bleach water... and clean the rest of the kb also...

BTW... i work on computers for a living and the shit i see on laptops makes me wanna gag.. i will spend 30 mins cleaning alot of laptops before i touch em... i know what i do with my laptop.. so im pretty sure i know what others do...

I even hate to shake hands.. fucking creeps me out.. that fucker was prolly just pickin his nose.. beating his dick.. wipin his ass... wtf....

lol good job you don't live in France / Swiss Romande then... jeez you have to shake hands with everyone you meet and are considered really ignorant for missing out one of your co-workers. Hell it can take half an hour just to get from the door to the desk on some days.

me too man, desktops are harder to see whats going on, but as soon as u open them, u can see if the owner wipes the dust in his home, etc. Sometimes is so much dust (i clean them with an air compressor) that i have to do it at distance, lol...some ppl dont even imagine whats inside their boxes, and some that see me cleaning their pc's, make comments like: "oh, theres a bit of dust there..." , and i think to myself: "a bit?"...lloolol

as for laptops the thing gets worse, since they have keyboard integrated :P at first i was cleaning every single laptop, mainly the screen, cause its a amazing how some screens look and their owners dont do sh!t about it. Now, i just dont do anything at all, because ppl dont even bother to say thanks, or to realize: "hey, this is clean".

i've seen almost everything on keyboards, and i hope i dont get to see more

ayay It would mean that literally, but it's really just used instead of A word. Don't think I've heard anyone use it in a long long time. The A word that is.

I've been working IT since 1995, from 95-00 I was in retail repair and saw a LOT of machines cross my bench... probably 8-10 a day five days a week... in that period of time I saw some pretty nasty machines, but only ONE was bad enough that I flat out refused to work on the machine.

From all appearances the machine was used as an ashtray... the owner was the sort who had yellow stained hands except where the cig sat between the two fingers... that was worn down to flesh colors due to the rapid rotation of coffin nails in and out of his hand/mouth/pack/etc... there was more tar stuck to the inner works of that machine than I've seen on most rooftops!!!

I called the guy up and told him that we simply couldn't work on the machine, when asked why, I advised him that none of our techs wanted to deal with the nasty that was inside it... he was upset until he came and saw the system... what boggles my mind is he stepped outside and lit another cig...

lmao zanthor!
yeah, most ppl aren't even aware of what they are doing most of the time..it's like being right and the rest of the world is wrong. like that situation, i've seen some as well. i've been working on pc's for almost 5 years now, and, like i said above, sometimes its impossible. i laugh a lot alone here at the shop my favorite is blame children for the pron in the computer, and sometimes, and this is the best one, the one i always laugh like a stupid, broken laptop's, like...u have plastic missing! and ppl say they never noticed

"im here to pickup my laptop"
"ok, but sir, when u left i noticed it was broken in the side"
"what? it wasnt like that!"

lol, nowadays i just chek it all before the person leave, or else ill pay for something i didnt do :P

anyways, thank god we only have to deal with laptop keyboards sometimes! aha

Years ago, I used to work at the computer tech bench at Best Buy, and we had some disgusting machines in there. I always wore latex gloves while working on those shitboxes. I swear I must have seen it all - dead ants and roaches, cigarette tar, dust bunnies the size of softballs, melted chocolate, liquor, and other various semi-liquids in keyboards, a case that was *covered* in boogers.. but these two boxes stand out the most:

- The dead rat that was smoldering while caught in the top of the CPU heatsink, and the 1/4 inch layer of marijuana tar that covered every inch of the inside of the case. In case you haven't seen it, pot tar is much thicker, stickier, and funkier than cigarette tar.. and some people think it's not as bad as cigarettes for their health. Heavily cigarette-smoked machines are bad enough, but heavily pot-smoked machines are actually much worse to deal with.

(I love the girls who bring in their laptop, expecting a full repair/replacement after dumping half a liter of coffee/liquor into their keyboard. Yeah, manufacturers will be happy to accept a loss on your carelessness/stupidity. Then they bitch about purchasing an extended warranty, which clearly states that liquid damage isn't covered.)

Thankfully, I'll never have to work another 'customer service' tech job.. there are far too many stupid people to deal with.

omfg! I know exactly what you are talking about. At one of my old jobs we had a computer with the same exact keyboard. Felt awesome and had a cool clicking sound too! I would go out of my way to use that computer. I wanted to steal the keyboard, lol.
