When dining, leave your MacBook home or in the from liyifeng's blog
James departed the Apple Store with a slow shuffle, eyes fixed downward, and seemingly… glazed. He had just been informed that his MacBook Pro, purchased only weeks prior, had been devastated by a small mishap over dinner. “Not much more than a tablespoon of wine…”, – but quite enough to render his three-thousand dollar investment utterly worthless! Sadly, Jim had recently paid extra for the extended, three-year warranty – Apple Care! The words burned in his dazed consciousness [url=http://www.cheapjerseysmlbonline.com/]Cheap MLB Baseball Jerseys[/url] , like a rejected lover… “SPILLS ARE NOT COVERED!”.
Jim is not alone; spill damage is, hands down, the number one killer of MacBooks, and other laptops – the world over. The piles of broken macbook in my shop are largely there due to spill damage. The fragile circuits in these electronic power houses are literally printed onto the boards with lasers, making them extremely expensive to produce and impossible to replace at reasonable cost. The power and technology built into these exclusive Machines, makes them fatally susceptible to electrical shorts brought on by water andor liquid spills. If the MacBook Pro (and perhaps the Alienware) is the ‘SUPERMAN’ of the Laptop world, then liquids are their ‘KRYPTONITE’!
As a technician, and a refurbish-er of broken macbooks, I have seen liquid damage from just about every liquid under the sun [url=http://www.cheapjerseysmlbonline.com/]Cheap Baseball Jerseys[/url] , not the least of which is… You guessed it… BEER! – And little wonder: Drinking and driving don’t mix – we all know that. Just so, drinking and ‘surfing’ is just as fatal to laptops. Coffee spills are just a common, as are latte, water, juice, milk, and of course – Water!
Here’s Some Sure Fire Tips On How To Avoid Spills: (‘An ounces of prevention is worth a pound of cure!’)
1. Don’t drink and ‘surf’
MacBooks and bars DON’T MIX. MacBooks and ALCOHOL don’t mix. If you are meeting some friends for a drink (or drinks?) after a bit of studying at the library, GO HOME FIRST! If you want to avoid a broken macbook with spill damage (and other damage, as well) [url=http://www.cheapjerseysmlbonline.com/]Cheap New MLB Jerseys[/url] , then don’t bring your laptop to the bar. Leave it home!
2. Coffee hides in coffee houses. Avoid them!
A very common practice is to catch up on some work or study at the local latte joint. Interestingly, it is also a very common place for coffee spills. The tables are too small and unsteady, there are too many people walking around, and it is far too crowded to make coffee houses a safe place for your MacBook. Worse, there is coffee EVERYWHERE, on every table, counter, and in every hand, in flimsy paper cups. A MacBook in a coffee house is a broken macbook waiting to happen [url=http://www.cheapjerseysmlbonline.com/]Cheap MLB Jerseys Free Shipping[/url] , even if the coffee has a fancy french name and is priced at $9.00 per cup.
3. A Warning From My College Professor – 25 years ago…
“Never, Ever, EVER Eat or Drink around computers.” This RULE WAS LAW in ALL COMPUTER LABS in the 1980’s. There were signs everywhere, and you could be kicked out of the lab for good if this rule was violated. Back then, computers were enormously expensive, and the schools knew well the tragic financial results of ‘snacking’ in the lab. Take this rule very seriously, and you will avoid a mountain of HEARTACHE! Never drink, eat (or snack) while working on your MacBook!
4. Stay out of the kitchen.
When dining, leave your MacBook home or in the car – locked in the
trunk [url=http://www.cheapjerseysmlbonline.com/]Cheap Authentic MLB

dining area, kitchen, or ANY
