Your "Improvise, adapt and overcome" Tag line is well deserved.

Now what do you do about red wine stains on the carpet beside the PC desk!

A stanley knife works on really stubborn ones, just got to find a patch of carpet in a cupboard that matches, and a tin of contact..
Thanks Sami, it seems to be getting better the more I use it, just got to remember what letters  the missing key pads are..Any one got a Toshiba satellite  laptop that they will part out some of the key pads from ?LOL.

Within the first week, of my very first laptop, my veryfirst and very expensive laptop, glass of water and laptop met in a clumsy moment of taking a drink.
end result; fried mother board.

Very expensive lesson that.
Why do people ask "What the hell were you thinking?"
Obviously I was thinking I was going to get away with it and not have to explain it....

I used to work with a girl who in the space of 6 months spilt 4 glasses of water, two cans of coke, a cup a soup, 3 cups of coffee and the final killer, a curry laksa onto her keyboard.

When I was a CIO I would have given her an Etcha-sketch and said don't come back.

Perhaps too technical for her, maybe a blackboard and Chalk.

Try some of the lenovos. Carbon X1 will resist a spilt drink. Speaking from experience it works. It was a major reason to go for it, especially as it will take a drop. Clumsiness is something I have in spades with things I like, the ugly crockery is however as safe as houses.
Oooh! Goldfish!
