Update: OMG EVERYONE AH DINNOT SPILL THE COFFEE ON MAH LAPTOP MAHSELWF. It was a person who shall not be named. Because naming him would make him sad.
How Not To Wreck Your Powerbook G4 After Coffee Has Been Spilt Upon It:
1) Immediately depress power button. Do not let go until the damned thing turns off.
2) Hold Powerbook at an angle which best facilitates coffee flow reversal. Let it drip out from the keyboard's corner for as long as it takes until it stops. Sit with it dripping on your jeans, if you must. Or have your girlfriend sympathetically (and not angrily) place several paper towels on your lap in a semi-lame attempt to help the process to become a more comfortable experience.
3) Repeat the following words over and over again in your head, but never more than once aloud: Oh Fuck. Oh Fuck. Uhmmmm. Oh Fuck.
3b) Remove battery.
4) Flip Powerbook apple-side down and let it rest like that, with some paper towels clamped between the screen and the keyboard until you may leave work for the lunch hour.
5) Take Powerbook over to Fake Mac Store on Shattuck and beg and plead for them to save your most valuable possession.
6) Wait several days while your Powerbook thoroughly dries with its parts hanging out in the shop.
7) Turn Powerbook back on with more prayers to the laptop gods on your lips.
8) Become one of the lucky "only 20% of liquid spills" whose Powerbooks survive the tumult!
... That there's $2000 information, right there. Now who wants ta Paypal that to me, for important advice tendered? Hah? HAH??!
It's ok. I can wait.
