WOW!!

What a messed up morning. First, I overslept and got a real late start today to begin with and then 10 minutes before the opening bell, I slopped some coffee onto the keyboard of my laptop.

I sat there in stunned silence for a second and nothing happened. Then it died. It was time to freak out. I did have a somewhat recent backup(3 weeks ago) but all sorts of horrible visions were running through my mind.

Well, before today I'd never been inside a laptop. After drying what I could get to and using a hair dryer on what I couldn't, I put it back together. Voila, I'm here.

I've always tried to learn from other peoples mistakes, but usually have to make the mistake myself to drive the lesson home.

However, FWIW, I suggest everybody evaluate the importance of their machine and make sure their methods to compensate for disasters are up to date. Sh*t happens!!!
