In officer’s training at the Army’s Aberdeen, MD., Proving Ground, our class received instructions on sophisticated equipment.  During one class, I was fascinated by an expensive-looking computer.   The instructor bragged that it was able to withstand nuclear and chemical attacks.  I was duly impressed.  But then the instructor abruptly stopped his lecture and turned to me.  “Lieutenant, there will be no eating or drinking in my class!”  “Sure……..but why?” I inquired meekly.  “Because,” he scolded, “a coffee spill could ruin the keyboard.”
