Throwing out the machine…
John Gruber reports about a guy in Mongolia who was unhappy about getting a computer that was not Macintosh. The pursuant discussion of keyboard issues reminds me of my college roommate.
He dumped grape soda in his Macintosh keyboard. I think it was one of those newer Apple keyboards at the time–still beige, but cheap and nasty in comparison to Apple’s flagship keyboard, the Extended Keyboard II.
He bought a new keyboard at ComputerCity. That afternoon, he returned it, but had instead inserted his grape-flavored one. The grape keyboard no longer functioned.
So, like Gruber’s Drexel buddy, another free keyboard.
I recommend some composure, myself.
