Within the first week on a new job in 1998, I spilled half a can of ginger ale on the boss's PowerBook (which must have been a Wall Street G3). The screen went all staticky, then dark, just like in a movie where we lose communication with the outpost right as they're being torpedoed. I was terrified.
I'd been hired as a production designer, but also because I knew a little bit about fixing software problems.
But I shut down, unplugged, pulled the keys, alcohol-swabbed everything visible, and let the thing dry out for a day. I got lucky.
