Do you eat or drink in front of your computer?

I was just wondering. I sometimes do have a snack by my computer. I have to be careful though.

And sometimes I like to have a drink there too.

I no longer put the drink within elbow reach or an accidental spill, though now I have a nice plastic keyboard protector on my keyboard, just in case.

Here is the picture that helped me decide the topic for this posting. I can imagine something spilling from this plate!

The description for this photo reads: Grilled halibut with green chili sauce on computer table. Mmmmmm good. But that coke looks so dangerous. 

Have you ever spilled on your computer table or (horrors!) on the keyboard? Leave a comment if you have and are brave enough to talk about it.

One of the conversations there is about the infamous July 9th story about the "Internet Doomsday" experienced by some computer users. The FBI had a hand in this story, which I find interesting.

We also post funny cartoons there too. These are my personal favorites! You can comment there easily and it's fun to have conversations there on Facebook.

Of course, this blog you are reading today is also a BGAMUG Computer Club destination.

Club members, you can post here on this blog too! Just let Betsy know and she will make you an administrator. You can also have this blog delivered to you via email.

Just add your name to the "Subscribe by Email" area to the left or subscribe to the feed if you would prefer.

Have you been to the BGAMUG website lately? We have copies of the BGAMUG Newsletter there.

I hope you are doing well this week! And don't forget to attend our next meeting on July 24th. Betsy will be talking about saving your computer files externally.

See you there!
