I dried it up as best as I could, but I didn't think it got into the computer so I didn't worry about it.

They said to act like I'm on borrowed time, and that it could stop working at any minute, but what are my chances exactly since it's lasted so long like this? Should I start saving funds for a new computer, or have I been granted a miracle? [/QUOTE]
