Okay,
I'll add to the thread.
I had gotten a keyboard or two but that is about it. The nice thing about
keyboards is that you can run them through an empty dish washer and let them
dry out for a day or two and they are fine. I know, I know... when I first
heard this I thought, no way? But it does work fine.
These days at my desk where I almost always have coffee and sometimes a good
margarita I keep the drink on one of the pull outs where the scanner and
computer are on the main desktop or on the other pull out. So far haven't
fried any computers:)

After my wine spill, my wife issued me what we used to call a "tippy tom".
It is a cup with two handles, a large base and a lid with a small slit
opening. They are used for children in the highchair age.
