Dear Princess Celestia... a.k.a. forget the rant post
14 years ago
Dear Princess Celestia, now I know how even a horrible mishap can instantly cheer you up.
This evening I was totally frustrated; sitting in a chair, watching tv and writing an angry journal to vent a little... then I accidentally spilt a cup of tea on my laptop. O____O'
I could see the misery of losing week's worth of various works, and of course, the inability to draw smut...
After an hour-long surgical operation (since you need a scalpel or a paper knife to disassemble this model) I first recovered the HDDporn safe and unharmed, managed to remove most of the liquid... and had to wait long hours for all the remaining water to evaporate.
Mybest cuddly wuddly laptop works.
CELEBRATION!

But a laptop surviving a 0,5l (more than a pint) cup of tea IS magic :D
So yeah, surprisingly hardy little things...or maybe they're perfectly waterproof, and we've just been mislead as part of some kind of strange, nonsensical conspiracy.
I'm glad I didn't have tea with lemon this day :D
