Such inconveniences have already been thought of by the Mac Book design team.

You'll never have to suffer a sticky or malfunctioning keyboard again

I have to admit, I love ONN spoofs. They're so well executed.

Sorry to hear about the spill. One of the reasons I refuse to own any type of laptop device is I just know I'm going to flood it with some beverage or other, no matter how careful I am.

Remember, I once tipped a full bowl of rice crispies into an A1200...

It did. Luckily the power was off, but the milk had ran through the cooling slits and flooded over the motherboard and worked its way into the various fans and other bits of HW I had jammed into it, which was quite a lot at the time.

I completely dismantled it, washed the mobo in distilled water and dried it over a week before testing it.

I had to replace the fans of course, they developed quite a noise and yoghurt aroma...

They don't mind being wet, provided the water doesn't contain dissolved acids etc and there's no current flowing at the time.

You just have to make sure it dries out thoroughly before attempting a power on.
