Today's hard lesson
One drop of coffee will, if dropped in exactly the right spot, destroy a MacBook.

1. I find that a bit hard to believe
I guess it would be possible, but I would have to think you would have a better chance of winning the lottery.

3. It's not only possible, I did it.
One drop of coffee just above the "X" key took out the logic board.

8. I just asked my computer friend,
who highly disapproves of my eating and drinking and computing. He knew of the problem, and just repaired one last week!

2. That is a hard lesson.
Sorry. Just one little drop? That is just wrong.

6. That's why I bought this yesterday

I always eat and DU at the same time, so it just makes sense. After an hour, I didn't even notice it.

Sorry about your Mac. :-(

7. I bought me one, too
Wish I'd had one earlier. I'm going to miss that MacBook--it went around the world with me.

9. That's a great idea.
I should look into getting one of those.

:thumbsup:
