Well I did it.  That would be me.  Nobody else around to blame.  Believe me, I turned over every stone looking for a culprit.  No, it was me and none other.  I sat my cup of tea down wrong (i.e. not flat) and it tipped over TOWARDS the computer (that would be my new computer) and spilled all over the keyboard, touch pad, the hinges, everything.  Someone suggested my computer spend two nights in a sack of rice, after drying it off of course,  Then Jim went on line and figured out how to take it apart and check everything out inside.  And here I am, back at it again.  Using my formerly new, thoroughly baptized laptop.  Seems to be fine.  Repenting in sack cloth and ashes.  Changing my drinking habits.
