Have you ever had the fabled Coffee / Keyboard interface?

[Papa Hotel]

Well? Or any variation thereof?

Keyboard/Yogurt
Coffee/Screen

[Minel]

coffe vs laptop: coffee wins It literally fried something, thankfully I just swapped the hard drive into another laptop!

[Mexic0]

Yes.

Came close after starting to read Nervy's 'stty cushions' post... then I was just left open mouthed.

To the 50% that have answered yes, how the fk??

Did you really find something so funny that you actually spat on your computer? Really? Or are you, as I suspect, telling fibs?

[ewenm]

Not due to finding something funny but yes due to being clumsy. Dell keyboards drain quite well

All true. Something really unexpected and funny, timed just right. Not often, but a few times with varying degrees of splatter.

I voted No , but I have had a couple of sneeze / snot / spit / screen moments

working in a cardiac operating theatre on a machine with a clumsy nurse... laptop was on a flimsy (ish) trolley thing, and the cup of coffee next to it was spilt directly into the laptop vents. BTW no patients were harmed during this

Don't drink coffee, but have had tea on my old keyboard a few times.

[GTIR]

I sort of did.

Staring into space out my open office window looking at nothing in particular and my cat, who was on the flat roof outside, decided to launch itself through the window with it's arms and legs outstretched, teeth showing screaming like a banshee.

I was mid coffee sip and ended up jumping out my chair and snorting coffee. It ended up over my Mac but luckily most of it came out my nose down my shirt.

My nose hurt for a while.

Fruit juice and a Dell laptop, yesterday. I got away with it, just.

Does reading PH while eating beef with black bean sauce count?

2 x Coffee into laptop keyboard - Laptop still works fine.

1 x Orange juice into the PSU of desktop - Still works after I got out the sticky mess as best as I could.

1 x Bit of coffee on my iphone - Quick wipe off and it still works too

All this happened over a period of 6 years or so.

My friend had a phone/swimming pool interface - He changed to swim trunks, went to check his phone as he was expecting a call, put it into swim trunks pocket and jumped into pool. That phone did not survive.

I've read things that have resulted in a smirk, or at best a small chuckle, but never yet read or seen something so massively funny that I've spat a beverage at my computer.

I do however wait in anticipation for the moment to occur.

[anonymous-user]

No, i have however managed to get beer to come down the inside of my nose whilst laughing, but it didnt interface with the laptop keyboard

HP Laptops can drain out a pint of pepsi max and continue working (over 12 months so far) ... I have proved it. But it wasn't a laughter moment, it was the same as ewenm ... a clumsy moment.

[Jerwatt]

Think I had a little bit with juice - had just been something unexpected when I was on the computer while drinking, and think it was a friend saying something on skype.

Cluminess - an ex spilt literally a pint of water on my old laptop. It didn't stand a chance,
