Hi Boys! Those of you gentlemen who love to surf the net for CB stuff and waste hours doing so should stop and take notice of my next Doctor DX medical sermon or risk spending a lengthy period of radio time curled up in the sick bed…

Take a look at your keyboard… Chances are it’s grubbier than a public toilet seat according to the latest research coming out of the States from a few colleagues of mine. Just the same as if you drank from a toilet or spent hours licking the loo lid, punching away on a filthy germ infested keyboard like most of you fellas do can be equally as harmful to your health.

Contaminated keyboards can not only cause skin infections but also trigger life-threatening bloodstream infections. For this reason, keyboards should be cleaned on a regular basis and more attention has to be paid to the cleanliness of hands before using the computer.

“How can I keep my keyboard clean, Dr,” you might ask. Well firstly, giving it a good couple of thumps is a useful way to pass a few hours while you wait for Cluster.dk to refresh. A lot of human, mineral and vegetable matter tends to come out of a well-used, well-slapped keyboard. If you're the average user of a PC, I can imagine that you'll find lurking under those keys some dust, a few crumbs, the odd pet hair, a skin-flake or two; perhaps even a paper clip or staple, and — if you're lucky — a furry breath-mint.

To clean the keys themselves and the hard to get to in-between bits, grab a box of ear-buds, a kitchen scourer and some window-cleaning detergent.

Next, pop all the keys off the keyboard with a metal nail file and lay them in sequence on the desk, taking care not to get them in the wrong order or your posts on ‘11m DX Activities Oz’ will rsebmle a nwe ailne lnagaueg.

After that, spritz them with Windex, rub off the sticky bits, and then pop them back on again. Walah! You have a keyboard as clean and fresh as a new pair of panties.

Please let me know how you get on.

Bye for now…

Stella
