BWAAAAHAAAAAAAAA. You think because you have an F3 he'll be less, ummm interactive!!?? :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao: Oh, I simply cannot wait until Jax is home and puts you in touch with reality.

Atticus isn't ornery; he's sweet as sugar -- purrs when I look at him. Wish I could have another of Sue's babies but I have only enough money in my "fun money" account for half a cat. lol. And I may have to use that to buy a new laptop.
Oh NO!!!!!! Now I think I've been grouped with JC,Cary,Rascal and the rest! That looks an awful lot like a spell has been put on me!!!:eek:

I wish I had such a great excuse! When I was in Toronto I had one day that I just wanted to go back to my room and start all over. And just one of the many things I managed to do involved my MacBook Pro and Coffee. A friend was helping set up our access points and I reached over to give her a cable and on the way back I knocked my coffee onto (and into) my laptop.

I had a whole list of things that were urgent to get done, so I powered down my laptop and unplugged it. Fortunately, another friend and the husband of said friend spent three hours completely disassembling my laptop to get to the keyboard and clean it out. Said disassembling friend works at a large company you all use every day starting with a G and he works directly for one of the folks that really did invent the internet.

It took two tries, but everything works and even the very slight stickiness with a couple of keys is gone. So you just need a good friend who has three hours of spare time and lots of patience.

I'd be willing to pass the favor on if I could get to your laptop quickly, but I suspect that is not the case. I'll be glad to offer whatever remote assistance I can as well.

ifixit.com has complete directions on how to disassemble various MacBooks to get to the keyboard. Just be prepared to deal with gobs of really tiny screws in a cat-free space.

Thanks Chris. I just bought an external keyboard this morning. It's a bit of a pain to use and I almost bought a new laptop but they aren't carrying the faster edition of the MacBook Pro that I currently have. Plastic protectors are now on both laptop and external keyboard. The Connecting Point repair people would have taken a week to fix it which is darn inconvenient so I went with the easiest solution. They said that the damage from the coffee could get worse over time and the whole thing could short out so I'm going to do daily backups and just see what happens. I didn't want a Mac in the first place, I really loathe Apple's business model, but when I bought this last year, I was not in the mood to deal with Windows 8.

Witchy, You can take those laptops apart, take the keyboard out and clean and fix any bad keys... It doesn't take too long to do, but it is very tedious and don't pull things to fast or they will break...
