I learned many years ago not to drink (coffee, soda pop) or eat at my work
desk.  I worked for a real tough boss and messed up an original document
once with a drink.  Very simple rule he had, you're paid to work, not to
talk to other co-workers or on the phone needlessly or to eat, smoke or
drink on his time.  You have breaks and lunch time for that.  Period.  No,
ifs, ands or buts.  Really bothers me today how some people think working is
just a social event, but they don't last long or go far.  But that is
another thread and definitely off-topic.  This is a hardware newsgroup.

Older keyboards are the best, with IBM's being my preference.
