well, chris, I'd offer to lick your buttons, but I'm not sure if that's within the rules.

hahaha!

Chris,

If it has dried, wait until tonight when you are finished with the computer. Unplug the keyboard from the computer, and spray the keyboard with window cleaner, and turn it upside down on a couple of layers of paper towels. The ammonia in the glass cleaner will allow it to evaporate by morning when you need the kb again.

This will clean it up for you. If it's still sticky after that, you're going to need to remove the keys and clean it with cotton swabs.

That reminds me my mother in law submited a similar problem to me a few years ago. Except it was orange juice.

Her's stopped working completely after she had it "cleaned" it in hot water and dishwasing soap...

Some people should buy those plastic molded keyboard cover things. Like mechanics at the garages have so they aren't getting car grime and oil all over the keys.

I know the Evil one is very neat, but I saw some people who posted pictures of their workspace and I'm surprised they could find the keyboard, much less that it actually worked.

Rule number 1# always keep away your drinking stuff new your keyboard.
(anyway, looks like everybody is guilty of this.
