Re: spills wireless keyboard
I had a clamshell iMac and a client dumped coke all over it. We shut down, removed the battery, and let the keyboard dry out. It was fine, altho a tad sticky and kept some of the coke color in the keys.

spills wireless keyboard
The answer to this question may be obvious to some but it's a mystery to me: I use a wireless keyboard and mouse. If I accidentially dump my coffee on the keyboad is there the same liklihood of shorting out or otherwise damaging the computer as there is with a wired keyboard or is this actually a good way to prevent damage beyond the yeyboard or mouse?
