This is why I don’t buy an iPhone. I am bad with my personal electronics. I dropped my cell phone in the toilet at RAW in September (I have a chintzy, cheap replacement phone right now to get me to the end of my current contract). My daughter spilled apple juice on the keyboard of my beautiful new laptop not a week after I’d purchased it. I moved pretty fast and saved it, but the delete key sticks to this day. Then my cat splashed coffee on the screen a couple weeks ago. There’s still a faint stain.
Now purple melted Play-doh on the bottom.
The problem is that my laptop is like an appendage. I use it ALL THE TIME. It goes EVERYWHERE with me. I guess this is just the price my electronics must pay to belong and to be beloved by me. (Tell that to my poor cell phone, right?)
*Pets laptop*
you should be able to pop the delete key off of there and clean under it with Alcohol (with a q-tip)… as for the rest of it, a protective covering maybe? *ducking*

hmmm I have a problem with my H not wanting to work all the time, any ideas on fixing it. I am like you anya, I keep praying my electronics will work, that I will not mess them up too badly. LMAO I so can not afford a new laptop, I can hardly believe I managed to get the one that I have.
by Dianna F December 1st, 2008 at 9:34 pmWell, at least your laptop should know it is loved…even if it does suffer from some spills.
by Karin December 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 amPoor baby, give him(the laptop) a pat from me.
I just recently got an eBookwise and I live in fear of destroying it. The things that are most important to us take the worst abuse.

by ThatBrunette December 2nd, 2008 at 10:42 amI am so sorry……
But that makes me feel so much better that I’m not alone in trying to protect things and never fully succeeding!
