Yes, this is becoming a recurring theme.
I don't believe it's permanently damaged though. Certainly the drive should be fine and that's what I care about. It instantly powered down when the liquid hit it, but as far as I can tell nothing made it past the keyboard barrier, and the drive is in perfect condition. It doesn't turn on right now so I'm just going to let it sit for a little and try again in a few hours. If it doesn't power up, I'll plug the drive into an enclosure tomorrow and move the stuff to the machine I'm using right now. But I don't expect to have to do that.
Anyway, if it powers up in a few hours, expect a Great Fredini interview to be posted not too long from now. If not, I'll plug the drive (BME's data wasn't on the laptop, just in an external drive) into this box and finish it for midnight or so.
Remember the moral to the story: Don't fuck with gypsies.
