I contemplated this, but we have no bag big enough. Then I figured I could just dump the rice on my laptop and leave it on the table. But... then that would just make me seem even more mental than I already am in my parents eyes Im sure. :I xD

If the voltage is lower, then it's fine, just means it might not just work right or at all, but it zapping and making a puff of smoke is unlikely. Still, ya really might wanna consider setting money aside for getting a new one. >.> Can always setup a donation fund if moolah is an issue.

As for the compy, dunno how old your laptop is, but most keyboards made these days use a layer of conductive film. Sorta looks like a thin sheet of paper, only clear and plastic like with neat little designs. I've spilled tea in one of these and well... Water likes to stick in inconvient places for long time, and once that water dries and leaves behind sugary residue, it's needlessly said, a bitch to get rid of. Milk has sugar in it too, and other filmy semi-conductive compenents, even when dry, so you might actually have to find a way to clean everything out if just drying it all doesn't work, otherwise you might have a working keyboard, that....More or less works how it wants to. Mine would type out 5fkjjsj basically when trying to type in my user name for anything so... Yeah. xD

If all else fails, can take to a repair shop and get it worked on. Will cost money BUT, again. You're loved, I'm sure a little donation might help. :3

Oh... Long story short, I had to get that keyboard replaced...

But not because it was unfixable, but because I had the money to get a new one anyway annnd...

It's fun breaking keyboards. <.<

My laptop issss.... 1-2 years old? 1 1/2? Not too sure. Either way I gotta save up so yis. Gonna try and look into that. c: Thanks Rav.

Yeah, most compy repair shops don't charge ya for a quote on what it might cost to fix stuff. If one does, best to pass on it unless of high respect. If anything, they can try to help you recover the files later by removing the hard drive and using one of their own systems to backup if you decided to just get a new lappy at somepoint for a (likely) small fee.

I'd send you my old desktop, but you'd be stuck in windows xp, with a gig of ram, and a graphics card and processor that screams murder at SL. not worth 50 dollars in shipping xD

Reminds me of my old hand-me-down laptop that my sisters mess around with. How it ever ran SL...I will never know. o _ o Im using my grandmothers desktop right now which runs pretty smoothly. Just its like...Idk, scared to actually do things. xD Cuz it runs anything horribly at first then its like OKAY LETS DO DIS and it runs awesomely from then on. xD

Sounding as you're somewhat okay with the use of yer gram's comp, I can ease your bit of worry about the initial lag.

It's just likely quiet a bit of start-up processes, likely hasn't ever seen a defrag, likely has not too much ram, and maybe has a single-core processor. Otherwise, if it can handle everything later on alright, I wouldn't freak out. If your Gram is alright with you putting things on her comp, just get http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html It's a nice way of turning off uneeded processes for when you need performance, without actually turning them off entirely manually, and it's free. Ignore the purchased version thing and all the other nonsense, though. >.> It does just about as good as free version.

Sorry for preaching so much on this... Hard to hold myself back with this sorta thing. :c

lol Understandable. c: Yeah, Im not putting too much on here. Ive held back from putting like...Portal 2 and other stuff on here to just mess around with and just put a few super small games to just play as I wait for my laptop.
