Oh coffee!
Coffee has played an important role in our life, coffee is nearly religion. By the way do you know that in Africa and Yemen, it was really used in religious ceremonies? I am an avid coffee lover, I can drink it the entire day and night. I just can’t imagine my reading, watching a movie, surfing the without my trusty, steaming cup of Joe! So I thing “Coffee Box” is great idea for Holyday’s gifts. Coffee gift could include such wonderful things as:

JoeBot’s coffee, Brent and Sam’s cookies, chocolate coffee spoons, espresso coffee candy and you favorite Jazz CD of course. This is perfect gift for a coffee lover’s delight!
“Oooh, good coffee, strong coffee
I need to have some”

Searching through the internet as usually I found very interesting information on Yahoo today and I considered that it could be very important to number of users of laptops and not only. Actually this is really a big grief when you spill accidentally your laptop with coffee, tea or something else. It’s not fun at all and joking apart, sometimes we can even get nervous disorder from that. So, yahoo suggests you some advices to safe your laptop keyboard from damage or destroy.


1. If you have your machine plugged into wall current, turn off the power at the circuit breaker in your home or office.

You don’t want to touch a wet wire carrying 110 volts or so.

If you’re running the machine on battery power, it’s still operating, and you don’t see sparks, hear odd noises, or smell burnt electrical components, shut your laptop down through the normal Windows process.

If something is obviously wrong with the machine, turn it off immediately by depressing the Off switch or by removing the battery.

2. Ground yourself by touching the center screw on the faceplate of a dry electrical outlet or by touching some other metal object that reaches to ground.

3. If you haven’t done so in emergency mode, remove the AC adapter and the battery, and set them aside.

4. Disconnect any external devices (such as a mouse) attached to the USB, FireWire, serial, or other ports.

5. If you find any liquid on the battery or AC adapter, wipe them carefully and set them aside.

If your spill has thoroughly soaked the AC adapter or the battery, you probably need to consider it a loss. You can get replacement AC adapters and batteries from various sources, including the original equipment manufacturer, laptop accessory companies, and the used market.

6. Remove any cards installed in the PC Card slot.

If they’re wet, carefully dry them off. If any water has gotten into the narrow slot, dry out the area with a cotton swab, taking care not to leave any threads of cotton in the internal connector.

7. Wipe off any liquid on the display.

Use a clean cloth dampened with water to remove any sticky residue.

8. Remove the hard drive and the CD/DVD drives if you have them installed in plug-in bays.

Dry them off if they’re wet. Set them aside.

9. Open the memory module container; remove and dry the memory modules.

Make notes on the placement of the modules. Set them aside.

10. Hand-dry the keyboard surface with a lint-free cloth.
