- How about covering the keyboard with one of those rubber covers. I know
- they feel a bit weird, and full finger-key tactile response is dampened,
- but at least you'ld be able to spit freely! You could also spill coffee
- over it with impunity, and even eat twinkies without crumbs getting down
- into all those intimate crevices.

- If you replaced your mouse with a touch sensitive monitor you could also
- open/close windows etc. just by spitting at the screen. Of course dragging
- icons would be a bit hard...
