I Spilled coffee On my keyboard...

OFF TOPIC

So now I'm actually using my Bamboo Fun tablet and Pen to write this.I wouldn't have been able to login without it.

I'm surprised by how well it's doing at turning my scribble into typed text.And it really feels like I'm just writing on a piece Of paper.

The spacing is a little off but at least I'm getting spaces and the letters b, h & n.

I think with a little more training I'll replace my keyboard and mouse altogether (since they act like a mouse too).

That sounds like a kinda neat toy. I get so sick of this keyboard I could scream -- and right now, I have no caps lock (um...not like I do a lot of screaming, but it can be a pain).........
And.....the reason I don't have a caps lock is because I spit coffee all over the darned thing. It's dangerous to hit the OT with a cup of coffee sometimes.

  LOL, I remember opening this keyboard of mine for Diwali cleaning - could never get the damn thing back together!
  
  The moment it was opened, these light rubber buttons scattered all over the table.
  
  Thanks

  I got it a while back thinking it would be a great way to add doodles to my digital scrapbooking. But it was such a pain to get the hang of drawing with it. I could actually get more done with a mouse. Don't know why... but this time around it just clicked for me. Maybe desperation made me force myself to get used to it.
  
  I can still type a bit faster than writing with the pen (practice makes perfect). But for navigating through websites I like the bamboo better. Definitely makes me want to upgrade to a multitouch monitor/screen.

  Ya know... I didn't think of that till you posted it. (I'm a little slow sometimes)
  
  In the past I'd just let it dry out but this time it was a no go. On top of that I couldn't figure out how to get the keys off the apple keyboards. Finally went to
  
  youtube and found a video
  
  . Good ole youtube. Worked like a charm (used water instead though)
  
  Now I need to figure out how to get the battery out of my wireless keyboard.
  
  My keyboard was designed for use in kitchens
  
  I think all keyboards should be designed for the kitchen. One day...
  
  The moment it was opened, these light rubber buttons scattered all over the table.
  
  That stinks...
  
  My initial thought was how to get the silver cover off this keyboard. There are no screws on the back. Would have seriously messed it up if I tried that route. Turns out you can just pop off the letters using a flat head screwdriver. Nothing else comes off.
  
  So it was an easy fix. Now I know & I learned how to use my Bamboo more effectively. Such a productive night!

My keyboard was designed for use in kitchens (though I never use it in the kitchen). I could pour molasses over it and it wouldn't matter. I spill coffee on my keyboard a lot, since I like looking at funny things online.

they have liquid proof keyboards, you should consider investing in one or being more careful I have spilled a small amount of soda on keyboards before and it did not mess them up badly besides sticky keys and it being nasty later

  There are highly flexible silicone keyboards available that do not have any probvlems with liquids. These keyboards can be rolled up, folded or screwed up and shed water or coffee since there is no access to the inside.

  You might not like what I say - but I believe it.
  Build it, make money, then build some more
  Some old school smarts would help - and here's to Rob Toth for his help. Bloody good stuff, even the freebies!

Well, Ithink you can say goodbye to your keyboard. I spilled a beer on it once, after this keyboard doesn't work
