>  I think drying the chiles on top of the monitor is a good idea

Of course I can see all sorts of problems with this, in the limit, knowing
how we all get so carried away and all.  What will happen is, people will
start drying a piece or two.  Then more and more.  And finally there will
be big juicy chiles -- big habs cut into pieces and dripping capsaicin
juice inside onto the electronic components.  Then later you'll have
capsaicin fumes emanating from your monitor for a while (which would have
some security value, against some set of users, anyway) and of course
finally capsaicin-induced circuit overload.  Would this be electronic
nirvana?

So that's why they invented food dryers, instead of just using their
TV/monitors all along.
