Water + Computers = Bad stuff
 

Well, short story.

I had my Tibook sitting next to a window. An open window. In a rather heavy downpoor. While in sleep mode, so it was still semi-powered. Needless to say, my Tibook got a real soaker.

And the bloody thing still works! I dried off the case, popped out the battery and removed the keyboard and let it sit for a day. A very long day.

I have dropped this thing, left it out in my car overnight a few times in the middle of a Canadian winter. No probs. I swear, there has never been a better made, more dependable laptop.

A look at just some of the damage:

I swear, I shouldn't be allowed to own a laptop.

lolz, water and electricity never mix.

but amazing that your laptop still works.

Blows my mind.

Would have been far worse if it had been something other than (relativly clean) rain water.

For such abuse to your TiBook I feel you should send it to me for safe care. I will send you pictures of your baby once a month so you can sleep well at night knowing your Ti is in safe hands. :D

no, no you shouldn't. so, send it along now... me'n Juan will take good care of it. :D

You shouldn't...FRIGGIN IN teh rain and what not. Seriously though how/why leave it near a open window ever?!

I haven't had a chance to play with one yet... good to see the quality is still there.

Cheerios, Of course, once it is out of my posession oit will fall apart. I must have good luck (for once) when it comes to this.

Soggybagel: My desk faces the window. I normally don't leave it open while I am out, but I got called into work on an emergency and it slipped my mind.

egorey: Indeed it is. I shudder to think what would happen if I had subjected my Dell to this treatment.
