Milk, milk everywhere but not a drop to dink

You would think someone who spills milk on their computer would learn that uncontained liquids and PC hardware don't mix. You would be wrong.

Webshots member Midolm experienced two separate spills, merely 5 days apart.

Milk on the printer

The computer wasn't the only victim. This printer was caught in the crossfire.

Soaked papers

Hopefully, these papers weren't important or the user had electronic copies.

Milky mouse

At least this is an optical mouse and has fewer opening than an old roller ball model.

Spill number two: Red fruit punch

Unfortunately, this individual failed to take precautions after her first spill. Less than five days after the "milk incident" this glass of fruit punch would prove a more dangerous foe.

Fruit punch all over the computer keyboard

This time, the spill was not confined to the table. The fruit punch went all over the computer keyboard.

Fruit punch goes in one side and out the other

So much fruit punch spilled into the keyboard's right side, that it ran out the left side.

That's a lot of fruit punch

Hopefully, after the second spill, this user will be more careful with drinks around her computer.
