I've seen the responses to this already....including Bob R's (which
is close to my opinion) and those of the worriers. I do realize that
within limits, if your public is worried you have to be worried.

My question, seriously, is whether or not people worry about what they
can get from the keyboard on the public computers in the library?  How
do you know you didn't get your last cold or flu from a keyboard on a
public machine when you were helping a patron?  Or from the patron
breathing on you, or a million other things?

cheers
