laptop+pint of water=f****d?

I mate of mine out of his head on mushrooms, pissed all over an old powerbook of mine - he took exception to 'technology' the fucking cunt :). It never worked again (nor did really want it to), funny that.
 
although my keyboard is a bit screwed. first time it kept producing b5 and n6 a lot when just pressing b or n, so took it off, fiddled around a bit (well, put back the two 'extra' screws that were left after last time) and put the keyboard back on a little less tightly. now its doing it sometimes with top row letters instead.... almost there though hoorah!

someone recounted a tale to me yesterday of a friend of mine, living (or perhaps crashing on the sofa) of a shared house. got up to go to the loo after a session, opened up his housemates mac (it was white y'see), so "lifted the lid" as it were and pissed all over it. didn't realised until the next day :eek:
 
I left my laptop out overnight in the garden once, and it rained.. got soaked it did, absolutely soaked.

left it for a cpl of days and it was absolutely fine.

But then, it is an IBM

(((IBM Laptops)))
 
Not a laptop but a television. I managed to pour half a cup of cold coffee down the the works through the slits at the back after some idiot left it on top of the set with an empty cup sitting on top of it. The set was on and the screen went green.

Luckily it was a rented set so we called up the 24 hour service people who agreed to come around the next day to fix it. The man duly arrived the next day, opened the back and sprayed it with a sort of electricians version of WD40. We (shared flat occupants) all sat there keeping shtum offering no information. He switched on and it was fine. "Just a bit of damp" he said as he packed up and left.

I don't know if there is a computer equivalent of WD40 but I suppose it is not quite as simple as a television.
