Just thought I'd toss out a little praise for the T1000SE. Last evening
while multiplexing a little work with playing with my son, I spilled diet
coke on the computer (it was folded up at the time). It looked like very
little had gotten into the works, so I booted it up and all seemed to work
fine. Not for long though. After some flakey operation, all died. On pulling
things apart I found pop in the memory card slot that had evidently flowed
through under the cpu board, from the power supply side where the pop had
spilled. Ouch... I left the unit sit over night to dry out and on starting
up found that all worked perfectly except I'd lost the contents of the
hardram. A reformat and reload from most recent backups and all is
functioning perfectly... My guess is that the low voltage levels of the
system saved me from component damage due to random shorts. (Along with some
luck)
