My girlfriend bumped my elbow and I spilled tea on my Macbook.

We were sitting together at a coffee shop doing homework. I began to take a sip of tea right as she adjusted her position in her seat, and she bumped my elbow hard enough to cause me to slosh a third of a mug of tea directly onto the keyboard of my Macbook. I turned it upisde down immediately and blotted up as much as I could, and it's been drying out for a while. But from what I can tell, it's completely fried. It kept rebooting itself constantly (I didn't think to take the battery out; dumb of me). Now it won't power on whatsoever. I think it may have short circuted. I don't know much about computers. I know that it's pretty seriously damaged, though. How would you handle this situation? She feels really bad, but there's no way she could buy me a new one. I wouldn't even want her to. It was just a clumsy accident that could happen to anyone. But now I'm out one Macbook, something that was expensive and that I relied on. Ideas?

That sucks, but I think I've got a rememdy.

Put an ad up on Ebay: "Limited offer, Macbook with a free coffee thrown in gratis!" Then mail the Macbook with a hlaf empty coffee cup in the parcel. When the latte soaked item arrives, you can blame the carrier. Job's a good un.

Awesome idea lol
