el sabor del teclado

[noweb4u] has anyone else ever got a piece of sausage stuck under their printscreen key, and if so, how does one get it out. If one doesn't, does it begin to stink?

[noweb4u] lets say this is a laptop keyboard.
[itszer0] yeah
[pjustice-work] so?
[noweb4u] kickass. I'm getting a poster sent to "noweb4u noweb4u"
[noweb4u] it's not that far in.
[noweb4u] I could probably tweeze the thing out.
[noweb4u] LadyMace: do you have tweezers
[pjustice-work] so if you want to do it the simple way, get a dental pick and lever it out where the vac will get it
[LadyMace] yeay why 4

After taking a bath for several minutes in a glass of water by accident on Thursday morning, it looks like my nextel might be making signs of life again. After Myself came by and helped me take it apart and soak the boards in alcohol, the phone now charges batteries, and boots to the point where it attempts to connect to the network. I think with a little more time spent drying, it might actually work again.
Now if someone I know in Michigan has a nextel phone based on the condor chipset, preferrably the i55 or i88 form factor, I need its power button. I broke mine while prying the boards out when my screwdriver slipped. I tried dumpster diving at several local repair centers and other nextel locations, and I'm coming up empty handed. Anyone want to hook a brother up? I'd be willing to pay a tiny amount and give back what I don't use…
