PLEASE, folks! We need to break out of the mentality that spilling orange
juice into electronic components is a Bad Thing. Sure, the keyboard gets
a little sticky, but the anti-oxidant characteristics of the Vitamin C,
plus the flavinoids that are in O.J., are very healthy for electronic
components. For example, about a year ago, a Cisco 2424XL fast ethernet
switch that CNS was using to host a meeting was the beneficiary of an
entire cup of O.J., which had been spilled by a senior network staff
member from another UC Campus. (That campus shall remain nameless, but
its initials are UCLA.)
Since then, the switch has performed flawlessly, and its packet-forwarding
capabilities have actually increased.
There has been a lot of vilification of O.J. over the past few years;
let's not let a sticky laptop further sully its reputation.
