Got Milk?

February 16, 2007 on 12:56 pm | In Computing, Life |

I did.

But then I accidentally threw it all over my laptop.

Fuck.
Stupid as I am, I actually turned it on again not too long afterwards, when I had let the milk seep out and cleaned the surface with toiletpaper.

I got nice flashy artifacts all over my monitor.
Then I quickly switched it off.

Safe to say I think I’m fucked now.
Also, the timing could hardly be worse: I just spent all of my savings meant for spending on computers on my new PC.
I’m only in luck that I now have a week long holiday and thus have time to sort things out if I have to.

Also, the hard drive - of which I have no backups - seems to have survived.

As the Dutch slogan goes: “Melk is goed voor elk”, which translates to as much as “Milk is good for everyone”.
I hereby beg to differ.

  1. I could be totally wrong here, but someone told me last year that the worst kind of thing to spill was something with sugar in like Coke or coffee. Having said that I suppose milk is bad because of the fat in it.

  2. I suppose milk is also bad because of the other stuff in it, or perhaps the fact that it is, in fact, a fluid.

  6. My keyboard survived Malibu, several fruit juices and something I can’t recall right now. These things are built to last forever

  7. Yes but a laptop has all it’s hardware under the keyboard.
    And graphics cards are not made to endure fluids.
