BAD KITTY!

Kitty is fascinated with water. She stands the edge of the tub and rubs against the shower curtain while you are showering. She loves to dip a paw into a glass or cup to play with whatever liquid in inside. And then she loves to knock it over and run from the spillage. This is has been the ruin of many a library book and today, My Guy's Laptop.

She knocked over a huge tumbler of water that was on the coffee table next to the laptop which was on and plugged in.

*BAD BAD KITTY!*

He says he gets the "Blue Screen of Death." He is letting it dry.
=(
I feel just terrible about this.

Knowing nothing, I wonder : if the water caused the machine to short (which it probably did, all over the place) what kind of damage did it do? Would it affect what was on the hard drive? Is anything salvageable? Is the machine fried?
There must be someone who can extract the contents of his hard drive (They do it on TV all the time!)
Has he just lost 2 weeks of work? (He backs up the contents of his laptop onto his desktop computer.)
And the Killer Laptop?

Time to buy some of those kids' beakers, you know, the ones with the lids on top *laughing* Just imagine, walking round the house sucking on one of those, but at least the laptop will be safe in future... ;) :p

That's right - I am 34 and I can't live without my sippy cup. Can't wait to bust that one out at dinner parties. On the other hand it will certainly help with keeping mixed drinks mixed. =D
