Got your attention yet?
Germs are everywhere. It's nothing new. Germs, bacteria, pathogens, viruses, little tiny aliens that invade through your nose and attack you at the molecular level; these are all threats that we need to guard against everyday.
Ever heard of MRSAs? Those are Methicillin-Resistant Staphlococcus Aureus. What do all those long and impossible to spell (let alone pronounce) words mean? MRSAs are germs that are always evolving and can fight off human attempts to kill them. (That's the quick definition, if I gave you the full story you'd probably go jump in a bathtub full of alcohol just to be clean.)
The worse thing about MRSAs is that they belong in a group of germs that people can catch while they are at the hospital! They can kill people. Nobody is immune. Basically you go in to get your tonsils removed, (do they still do that anymore?) and you end up quarantined in your own wing and the priest is just waiting for you to croak so he can read you your last rites and get home in time for American Idol.
And things aren't getting any better people, MRSAs and other HAIs (Hospital Acquired Infections) are starting to really multiply, (they must spend all day listening to Barry White and popping Viagra) and they're spreading. I could cite facts and figures, but that's what the internet is for, I'll just throw a few at you really quick:
In the United States, there are about 2 million cases of HAIs per year, resulting in an expenditure of $4.5 billion for treatment.
On average, there's about 90,000 HAI deaths per year in America.
(For those who care, I got the information from this source: http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic1619.htm)
I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here, but the fact is this, you could very well end up getting sick from going to the hospital. And how much would that suck?
Doctors, nurses, delivery men, the pediatrics clown, everybody in hospitals need to wash their hands. Same goes for dentists, their assistants and patients. It takes less than a minute and it won't hurt. In fact, it'll help.
There are other ways too.
Imagine a keyboard with no seams, no cracks or crevices. It has no nooks or crannies for germs and dirt to infiltrate. No place for pathogens to reside and multiply. No santuary. Imagine a keyboard with no moving parts, which means nothing to try and move or remove in order to clean. Imagine a keyboard with the same tactile response you've come to know and love from regular keyboards, but completely silent, (you paying attention librarians? Do I need to paint the picture for you? I think you understand the grooviness of a library without all the clickity-clack of dozens of keyboards being used) so you don't need to interrupt others as you type. Imagine a keyboard you can disinfect with alcohol, 10% bleach solutions, chemical disinfectants or plain old soap and water. Imagine a keyboard where worries about spilling coffee, food crumbs or other random dirt are a thing of the past.
You still with me here?
You know what you just imagined? The line of waterproof keyboards and mice from Man & Machine Inc. Waterproof. With some of the MMI products you can even submerge them under water, take them out and use them as if nothing happened, (why you would want to do this, I don't know, but it could help you win bar bets.) And guess what people in dry, deserty climes? (military people, I'm looking in your direction) they're dustproof too! No more grit, dirt, dust or sand to get caught under keys and screw things up. No more going through a dozen cans of spray air a week just to keep your workstation clean. It's cool right? Right.
I know it's cool. I know because all of MMIs products are cool! It says so right on them! Don't believe me? then peep a glance at http://www.man-machine.com.
Trust me, you'll be glad you did. Whether you're a doctor, dentist, Sailor, Librarian, Teacher, or just regular Joe Shmoe looking for a cool keyboard to show off to your friends, the keyboards and mice at Man & Machine are just what you're looking for. After all, it's only your health you have to look after.
