I’ve kept you all on the edges of your seats for long enough. After MacBook met water last week, it has been running like a champ since yesterday morning.
SuperDuper! saved my ass and allowed me to work for a week and let the MacBook really, really dry out. Popped the battery in and started ‘er up Saturday morning with no apparent ill effects. I’ll be more comfortable if she’s still humming along in a couple weeks, but I like the chances after having allowed all traces of moisture to get out of the system.

Hey Barry this is great news! It’s rare to read about a successful backup/recovery procedure and then find out the laptop still works. Consider yourself lucky!
I think i’ll need my own Apple Mini as well… it would be devastating if I had to wait a week before getting back to work :(
Alex, I highly recommend the SuperDuper!/external drive/mini strategy to anyone depending on his Mac for income. It’s <$1000 well-spent.
And in the meantime you can dual-machine it with a Mini-MacBook tag team.
I’m glad to hear everything worked out. I know you learned a lesson but am glad that it wasn’t a waste of money in the process.
yeah I guess I would need an extra monitor if I got a mac mini… i’ll wait to get another contract first ;)
