[QUOTE="jpvrftw, post: 1606381, member: 333597"] [b]Odd Occurrence[/b] [FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode][SIZE=3][COLOR=DimGray]Approximately 6 hours ago I spilled around 50ml (1.7oz) Coke Zero on my desk. As luck would have it, most landed on the left side of my MBA, covering around a third of the keyboard, down by the hinge and possibly into the MS2/USB/ sockets. :Oops: The first thing I did was attempt to resist the urge to commit hara kiri upon realising I stood there for a full second or more, goppingly-dumbstruck by my profound stupidity.

Being no normal man, I'm capable of multi-tasking, so there was much panicking, swearing and vein-popping going on all the while. :Shouting: Long story short, and yes I admit this was impatient, I switched it on again not 5 minutes later.
