CupWorks (tm) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. My CupWorks(tm) is obviously designed to hold coffee cup shaped containers. This implies it is designed for use with hot liquids. Is it safe for me to place cold drinks in my CupWorks(tm)?

A. Absolutely! Your CupWorks(tm) Beverage Container Containment System has been rigorously tested with all kinds of containers, beverages and temperature ranges. Remember, only CupWorks(tm) has been certified for use in Class C computer environments.

Q. I inadvertently dumped my cup of java (not-tm'd) into the storage array to which my CupWorks(tm) was attached. Now the storage array has been shipped to some dumb company to try to retrieve the data. Can I attach my CupWorks to the CPU door until we get our storage array back?

A. Absolutely! The CupWorks(tm) Beverage Container Containment System has been carefully designed to fit a wide range of computer gear. And unlike the hypersensitive electronic gizmos to which it attaches, CupWorks(tm) recovers from accidental spills with a mere wipe of a damp cloth (sold separately).

Q. I followed the directions for permanent, screw-mounted installation of my CupWorks(tm) Beverage Container Containment System to our storage array cabinet. When I drilled the screw hole into the side of the sheet metal cabinet, I noticed a smell like something was burning. Is this normal?

A. Absolutely! During our rigorous testing of screw-mounted installations, every storage cabinet we used, regardless of manufacturer, exhibited the same behavior; a funny, burning smell as we drilled the hole, followed by erratic storage behavior. Apparently storage vendors have a ways to go to achieve the same robustness you get with CupWorks(tm)!

Q. I'm the guy that wrote you in number two above. My computer room manager now refuses to let us use CupWorks(tm) unless we can guarantee that our spills can't get inside the electronic gizmos. Can you help?

A. Absolutely! Look for the SplashWorks(tm) Spilled Beverage Containment System very soon. SplashWorks(tm) is like a giant saran-wrap condom for your computer system. It will be available as soon as we figure out why the electronic gizmos overheat when SplashWorks(tm) is installed.
