Heh. I know that feeling, had a couple close calls where nothing happened and this one. Back in my beer days I had one sitting next to the keyboard. While typing something I bumped it with my arm... I watched in fascination as it rocked back and forth two or three times... before it tipped all the way over onto the keyboard. Nothing spectacular happened though, I shut the machine down and disconnected the keyboard. Dunked it in the bathtub for a minute and popped off all the keys and let it dry. It worked for quite some time after that. I was damned glad, I'd have kicked my own ass for a month had something blown up while being so careless. Now I keep coffee (oh wait, that's another one...) way off to the side. I -did- bump an almost full cup one time and it sloshed all over a cd stack. I had to open all those jewel cases, take out the inserts and cd's and clean all that up. Maybe I should switch to sippy cups. ;)
