    Yes they did! My hubby would probably chime in here if he were a Pet Talker. He is always talking about the "kitty litter feet" that prance across our kitchen table. Of course I clean the table before serving dinner but it does seem to bother him nevertheless. I guess I should be cleaning my work keyboard more often too. Maybe a little alcohol on a cotton ball once in a while?

    And how long ago is it you took your keyboard, turned it upside down and shook it? Try!

    The one neat-freak I worked with years ago constantly cleaned her keyboard - which no one else ever touched. Sadly, she never understood (despite me explaining patiently, over and over) that water+electricity are a bad combination, and so used a spray cleaner on her keyboard. Then, when her keys would start sticking, or even stop functioning, she felt persecuted because no one else's keyboard failed as often as hers. Sigh.

    I can believe that, my personal keyboard is FILTHY, but I don't think I will lose much sleep over it.

    How can you type with the keyboard upside down and shaking?

    I occassionaly take canned air and clean my keyboard out. I'm a bad girl and tend to eat at my desk so crumbs fall in there a lot.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I cleaned mine with Q-tips, cotton balls, and alcohol once. It was so labor intensive, I decided to live with it the way it is

    I do shake out the keyboard on my home pc & get lots of crumbs.

    I also eat lunch at the computer. I'm sure office equipment has tons of
    germs, but mine are friendly ,family germs.

    Yep Phred here is an example of Kitty Litter Feet, although I think hubby has made him self conscious and now he now hides them by doing the meatloaf pose.

    I have a bottle of Rubbing Alcohol next to my desk at work, but more times than not I clean my keyboard and phone after I realize that I've gotten sick!
