When working late at night, do not spill your gentleman's measure of
Lagavulin (or indeed Glenmorangie or whatever your poison is) on your
keyboaard. Whisky seems to do more damage than Coke(tm) or coffee.

Not only that, but doing so is alcohol abuse of the worst kind.  Lagavulin 
or Glenmorangie (or whatever) can't be properly appreciated by non-
sentient computer equipment. ;)

Absolutely. The damn machine slurped it up then rolled over and died.

If we had been talking about vodka, that would've been a *terrible* pun.

I think they just prefer pure alcohol. It's the (non-alcohol) impurities  
that cause the problems.

On the contrary. I swore long and loud then poured another - fresh from
the bottle. You wouldn't want to drink anything that's been on one of my
keyboards.

Loud and short, I can understand. ;-)

I bet, I've seen worse.
One guy I worked with. Came to his PC one morning and the k/board was 
swarming with ants.  He didn't know anything about hygiene in the 
tropics. And ants love doughnut sugar.
