  1. Mydecidedlyunexpertadvicewouldbethat … wow, it’s contagious Art.

    Is it a laptop? I assume it is a desktop, because otherwise the damage would have been greater and harmed the computer. Something similar happened to me in the past and I was able to coax the drowned keys back in from their strike by using a hair drier (on a cool setting) and tapping on them gently. Definitely turn the computer off before you try this (or put your camera on so we can watch!!)

    If a laptop/notebook, check the following link (http://www.ehow.com/video_113626_clean-laptop-spills.html).

    For a desktop keyboard go to http://www.ehow.com/video_113592_clean-keyboard-spills.html

    Good luck.

  3. I definitely feel for you. I am a translator and get paid by the word as per the word count in the translated document. So if I had no space bar a 40 page document would translate into one word and around 10 cents pay. I shudder just to think about it …
