Susan,

I truly feel for you. Such a simple thing, and so painful. I am glad it was
a great success.

I pulled a similar stunt about two years ago.  Finally bit the bullet and
bought myself a new Dell laptop. Boy I was excited.  About 3 weeks after I
got it, I, yes, you guessed it, spilled an entire can of Diet Pepsi right
into the keyboard.  What a sticky, gooey mess.  Needless to say, it didn't
work anymore.

I called up Dell and spun my tale of woe -- telling them the truth.  Figured
all they would do is share a laugh with me.

I was surprised, no make that shocked, when they replaced it with a
brand-new laptop under warranty.

I buy Dells now.

Tom
