This procedure is even more astonishing on reading about it again.
I have yet to try the keyboard shower. I periodically turn a glassful of wine onto my keyboard which seems to sterilize the crumbs in some way, perhaps immobilizing them into a drunken stupor so that they don't interfere with my typing. Unfortunately wine poured into me seems to have the opposite effect.

As a former electrical engineer, I have to MOST STRONGLY advise against adoption of these techniques.

If you care if the keyboards ever work again, that is. If not, hey, put them behind the rear wheels of your car and back over them. Guaranteed not to work.

Hmmm. Well, mine are so filthy, what do I have to lose except the $79 to get a new keyboard (can't use the $9.95 Walmart ones since I need a split keyboard).
