I had a cold yesterday and took a nyquil. Full strength. I made hot green tea for myself in hopes of alleviating the hoarse voice and congestion.
And then I placed the mug of tea near my computer as I normally have in the last 14 years that I had a personal computer.
But this time, my left hand swooped downward accidentally and knocked the mug to the right, spilling tea on my keyboard. I was in the middle of an im conversation and hastily typed (almost as if I had to exert good manners at danger’s notice), “gotta go”.
And I shut off the computer. Unplugged everything. Then took out the battery. Turned the computer upside down with a rag to soak up all the tea. Then I waited.
And today, I turned it on holding my breath. And it was ok.
Just as Chris said it would. He said he has seen worse.
i’ve had that scare so many times. i have my klutzy days
I’ve spilled coke on my laptop keyboard. It’s sticky and nasty and never quite gets clean but I’ve never had liquid kill my computer.
Chris said that he has seen people pee on the laptop and it was just fine. Ew gross, who wants to use a laptop after that!
