Titanium Update
For those who are curious about what happened to the laptop after I spilled tea on it ...
Last week I took the laptop to the Apple Store only to find the Genius Bar closed for 4 hours thanks to Steve Job's keynote at MacWorld. No offense to Steve worshipers out there, but this infuriated me. It made no sense whatsoever to have all the technically elite just standing there watching the big screen -- I'd think one could listen to the speech while working, yes?
Anyway, the machine powers up but all external devices do not work. This includes everything -- the power cord, the CD slot, etc. Anything that plugs in no longer works. Okay, that's one problem identified. The good news is that when it boots up, all my files are still there ... so I'm hopeful. I plan a return visit to the Apple Store sometime this week.

What is the solution to the problem of computers and beverages? I need my hot tea in the morning *and* I need my computer in the morning. So far I have been lucky. but maybe I should leave the tea in the kitchen and walk back and forth constantly :) I hope it gets sorted out soon!
At least with my iMac it's basically only the keyboard that is in danger from spillages.......

Use one of those clear covers on the keyboard and you save the keyboard. Doesn't help with a laptop but it is great for an iMac.
