I can see you with the can of WD40–heck, I can see myself with a can of WD40! And now tht you mention it, keyboard gunk is definitely a problem …hmm… I feel the need for some mental toughness!

Happy holidays to you!

and then there was the time that cleaning the gunk off my keyboard lost me the entire essay, even though I mad sure to save before I started fussing… I managed to re-save as i randomly pressed keys…
