Does any other country have the plastic/rubber covers over the keyboards?

Is it because Korea is so dirty?

Are they called Keyboard Condoms?

I have seen them in many countries but only in Korea have I seen them so dirty. It goes along with my hatred for the stainless steel covering that they never remove or the new car plastic seat covers. I once saw a lady whose car seat cover was all torn up but she refused to get rid of the thing. All this to keep things clean just makes it all look so rundown and trashy.

You said it. For some reason nothing screams "Third World" to me quite like a greasy, kimchee-begrimed "HANIL STAINLESS STEEL Mr. Green" sticker on restaurant kitchen equipment that's 4 years old.

"Why not peel it off? I remember when you replaced the old equipment in 2001, and you never took the covering off that either. Confused "

"Oh no, Guru, we wouldn't dare do that! It might get scratched!"

"Yes, but it would still look a whole lot better (and be incomparably less germ-infested) than these tacky manufacturer's labels."

"But Koreans never peel those off -- if we did, how would everyone know that we bought jen-yoo-wine "STAINLESS STEEL Mr. Green "???

Keyboard con(m)doms..good one Wink Korea is a dirty place. Extremely disgusting. Garbage all over the road. Smells like sewage all the time.

Where can I pick up one of these keyboard condoms? I often bring drinks around my keyboard and I don't want to fry the keyboard considering I just bought this computer.
