Uh-oh!

Last week I accidentally poured lemonade into my iBook. Not on . . . into. The left side of the keyboard is rather crunchy now, but so far its still going strong.


This reminded me of freshman year in college (all my good stories start like that) when Shannon poured a whole vase of water into her Mac (remember the days when Macs were purple and teal? it was one of those - we hated it and had no idea what to do with it - a little ironic since now I'm one of those girls who won't shut up about hers). We were both sitting on our beds, and I think she accidentally kicked it over. It was one of those slow motion moments:

Vase . . . tilting . . . water . . . pouring . . . still going . . . still going . . .

I saw the whole thing happening but was totally frozen and couldn't make myself move to try to stop it.

I hope Robin and Gary don't read my blog because I don't think we ever told them that one. Whoops.

I did this with coffee. The laptop survived, but that "e" never operated the same way again. It was so sticky, that I eventually gave up "e"s altoghether. The above message would have looked like this:
