This Is Why You Keep Liquids Away From Your Computer

We’ve experienced the rush of fear when we almost spill a drink on our laptops, well today it was more than just “almost” for me.

Today, I was too busy talking to Frank and not watching what I was doing and sent the entire contents of my coffee cup (a big yellow one that would hold about 2 and a half normal mugs worth) straight onto my main laptop.

I immediately pulled the power, poured the liquid out, stripped it down, cleaned the areas that coffee got to and now it sits, as you can see from the picture below, in many pieces on my dining room table.

I’ll leave it to dry there overnight and hopefully when I reassemble it tomorrow it will come back to life.

There’s a lesson to be learned here folks 😉
