"I'm sure mine is that gross," I thought, as I grabbed another handful of popcorn and resumed typing.

I wonder if computer technicians should be wearing gloves and masks while working on people's computers.

Toss it in the dishwasher (unplugged of course), let it air dry for a week, plug it back in.

I did that, but just to make sure none of the components got wet, I totally sealed the whole laptop in 4 layers of oven-safe celephane, and then it was 100% waterproof!

But why would I "unplug" the dishwasher? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

lol, there are some really sweet dishwasher safe keyboards and mice, and the way they are constructed keeps dirt from getting inside as well. (they don't require a week to dry out)

I was just eating a huge handful of those little grape tomatoes. Unfortuantly, I put so many in my mouth at once, I couldn't close my mouth all the way, and it squirted tomatoe juice alllll over my new laptop.

I don't really have another place to eat it where I would have something similar to a table in front of me...
