So, a few days ago, I drowned my sorrows in alcohol, got onto the net at 2 am, hoping I'd catch a friend on the net, and cry my heart out. Was drinking water, hoping to reduce the hangover. the bottle shook, and water fell over my laptop keyboard. Things went haywires. No key worked..though I tried everything. Finally got it to the computer hospital..it's there for another few days.. they keyboard has to be replaced. Thank god, nothing happened to the hard drive. Am at an internet cafe..writing this. Man..do i hate this. I'm also going thru withdrawal symptoms of various kinds..no bryce, no bryce forum, etc. Sigh. AAARRRGGGHHH!

ohhh i spilled iced tea on mine a few weeks ago...luckily i'm brave enough to tear things apart..LOL First time ever i spilled something on any pc part... I took it apart asap, and dried out all the tea, took some damp paper towels and wiped down anything that couldn't be put under the kitchen faucet.. a sticky F2 key is all that resulted... (guess i didn't get all the tea off it yet...lolol) (wish i could blame all my dislexic typos on that! hahahaha seems my thumbs work faster then all my other fingers and i always get spaces wrong...LOL) Hope you get your keyboard back soon! Jen

Ugh that sucks. But sometimes a lil break from the net/comp and even 3D is a good one. You come back with more inpiration and will to work. My cat likes to walk on my keyboard, or even lie on it, which is really annoying since he's a huge one, and taking him off the keyboard usualy results in a big mess on the table and half of the things falling down lol.

I had a gf (an ex now lol) who spilled a glass of water all over mine. After that, maybe 10 keys worked, which was a bit limiting lol.

The only liquid that's been spilt over my keyboard has been whiskey. With my being Scottish, it's sort of an expected accident. Only trouble is it's happened more than once............must stop drinking whilst surfing. lol 8) Catlin

Catlin, single or double malt, highland, lowland, or island?

I can't sympathizwe with you there, Catlin. I did that with half a glass of Gentleman Jack in the wee wee hours of the morning after work once. I got pissed for a minute. Poured another glass and went to my spare keyboard which is a POS (piece of _ _ _ _), but it worked for the rest of the night unitl it could be replaced. Not Scottish, but German and we ain't too far behind ya.

What a waste of Gentleman Jack!! that stuff's expensive (and nice :-) )

I had to replace my keyboard once due to a Margarita accident. No more margarita's for me, lol. Most of the keys worked but they had an annoying stick to them and some stayed stuck down.

Sorry to hear that ero. Just a side note, If you haven't shorted anything out, you can Unplug the KB, completely submerse it in water, spray it, scrub it, what ever you like. Take out a few screws in the back open it slightly(speeds up the dry time) and run a fan into it. Once it's dry(absolutely) you are good to go.
Oh Yes, my son spilled a glass of OJ in one of mine. Best thing is shut it off as fast as possible.

I spilt coff on my k yboard th oth r night....I cl an d it all off but I can't g t th ' ' to work...........

hhahahahahahahahahahaha ^^^^^^^ tooooo cute!!!

Zhann, double malt, mainly island................delicious 8)

Ahhh a nice bottle of Islay or Talisker...... :-)

Catlin! Get your priorities right! It is important not that you spilled whiskey (of any type) on your keyboard, It's high tragedy that you spilled whiskey!!! You can always get another keyboard, but spilled whiskey... (grin)(partial to Laphroig myself)

Not sure if that was spelled correctly and being at work, I can't pop over to the sideboard and check! (or have one for that matter :( )

OK. SO we're all a bunch of clumsy drunks. Just need to work on the clumsy part around the keyboards in order to save money so we don't have to buy another bottle so soon.

Let this be a lesson...alcohol doesn't solve problems. Making things with Bryce does!

Catlin, I am still partial to Glenfiddich.

What a bunch of pessimists! As long as you still have whiskey in the bottle you have nothing to worry about......

Uh gosh don't really have any sympathy for you at this time. Next time share the booze and gladly shed a tear.

Lol @ Bryster. Bryster, I had a 5th o'whiskey in my freezer. It took me over 7 years to finish it off... Lol Not much of a drinker. But...... I didn't have things to worry about then as I seem to now. Heh heh heh heh..... 8) Wade

I'm at the internet cafe..and the pple here think I'm nuts..coz I'm laffing so much as I read this! Someone said.."In wine there is wisdom. In beer there is strength. In water there is bacteria." Need we say more?? :) :) Getting me laptop later today..so I can smile...:) Back to brycing....

Aye,I'll drink to that!

Skol! (sp) Prost! (sp) Cheers! Bottoms up!(A French expression....) Here's lookin at ya! Here's mud in ya eye! Down the Hatch! It's my round next! (Not one I've heard lately) And one we used to have in the British Merchant Navy: Cheers, queers, pimps, prostitutes and British Merchant Seamen!

TheBryster..be careful of that darn keyboard!! ;) they seem to love guzzling whiskey, brandy, rum and wine..and anything that makes us happy..and tend to render themselves useless!! ;) ;) Cheers!! Fill to him, to the brim! Round the table let it roll. The divine says that wine cheers the body and the soul!!!! :) - Origin unknown

Usque Ad Mortem Bibbendum!

and 'Illagitami non carborundum' to you too..........

I've spilt plain ol' Jack Daniels on the keyboard -- I only drink the good stuff in front of the fire and that's usually a Balvenie 25 in the port cask or a Lagavulin (much smokier than the Laphroaig)-- Immediately shut down (i.e. pulled the plug) and let it dry out. No problems! ("dry out" + booze, I crack myself up!) Oh, and if yer talkin' 'Merican booze, it's "WhisKEY", Scotch, of course, is "Whisky" Bryster- I have a 3 Quart, 5 ounce bottle of Corsendonk Monk's Pale Ale with a Plaque that reads "Illigitamii non Corborundum"! Long story... I'll tell you sometime.

Lagavulin is cool too. It has a smoother feel to it by my palate. Seriously drinkable. Glenkinnchie (I am spelling from memory, have to get another bottle) is another i go for. BTW you are indeed correct about the 'e', I never realized it before! Thanks. (sipping carefully at a 15 yr old Laphroaig)

Pple..we are a bunch of drunkards!!! :) :) :) Reality is an illusion created by the lack of alcohol. -- Anon

Incarnadine, GlenKinchie is one of my favourites. It is the only malt I've tasted that has a natural sweetness to it. I think that comes from the water they use. 8) Catlin

My missus has a liking for Ben Nevis Scotch Whiskey ....especially in coffee

Heathen! (grin)

...and proud of it!

Whisky: It's not just for breakfast anymore!

ROFL 8D..................Nukeboy really. 8D

Breakfast! Best way to end an evening!

We have a Blue Grass band over here called 'Whiskey Before Breakfast'.....! ;-)

I used to work a graveyard shift (2230 to 0700). Since I lived that schedule, it was not unknowned for me to fire up the BBQ and grill a steak at 0800. Since it was my evening, that steak was often accompanied by a beer or stronger. One morning, a couple of Morman "Elders" (young kids on their missionary work) came up to the door. I offered them a beer and steak. They politely declined, I then said, "since it's steak, how 'bout a whiskey?" Didn't go over too well, but my heart was in the right place!

ROFL 8D!

Gosh, the only thing I've gotten on my keyboard is chocolate. :o))

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!.............chocolate and whiskey. 8)
