I have a nice little pile on my desk. Almost a full meal!

1. Do you also clean yours?
Having cats and a dog means a lot of hair in my keyboard. I use the corner of a folded piece of index card to run between the rows of keys and get the dust and hair out. Wow.

4. About 15-20 bits by the looks of it.
I didn't count them, just guessed :P

There aren't any crumbs in my keyboard, TYVM!

Why?

Because they're all in my lap!:blush:

9. I'm using the Apple aluminum keyboard
no room for crumbs, so the answer is...

zero (I did turn it upside down and shake, just to confirm).

10. All sorts of things fall out
Crumbs, small screws, loose weed, one time a dime-how it got in there I have no idea.

12. I'm afraid to shake it
the food crumbs, cat hair, and 'shake' have become a structural part of the computer, so I'm afraid to upset the balance, even if my spacebardoesn'talways work.

Without the electrical shock issues.
