My Near Death Experience
As you probably know, I am coming to you now from this, my Alienware M5550. As you probably also know, I value this thing more then life and playstation itself. So here's the story, last night as I was typing a paper I reached up to pull down the USB cable, with said cable a mostly empty can of Code Red came plummeting down with it, promptly landing on my keyboard..upside down. So I grabbed a towel and soaked up as much as possible, believing I got most of it, crisis averted. Right? Wrong. As I continued typing I hit enter to start a new paragraph which every time I did, the letter N popped up, then it started capitalizing. Making sure the "NumLock" wasn't on I started to freak, then all of the buttons to the right of the M,K,O,0 line started acting up. So naturally I was flippin out so I turned off the comp, took off all of the keys to the right of the aforementioned, went over them again with a moist towel, and then again with the compressed air. After this was finished I turned the computer back on, and as I typed in my password to get in for every one letter hit 3 letter dots came up. So I hit backspace to delete them and 5 letters came up. I really started melting down so I just turned off the computer for the night and watched InuYasha. This morning though it's all working fine. Thank God. That was a close one.
