And it's not even Christmas shopping season, much less time for
carols.

Get a spare keyboard. Put yours in the dishwasher upside down and
turn off the heat and run it through a cycle. Let it dry upside down
for 3 or 4 days. Odds are it'll be good as before the spill.

Or at least as good as immediately after the spill

So, have you actually performed this successfully - or is it part of some
urban computer folklore?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. This "technique" could
have saved the University of Illinois a lot of money back
when keyboards cost serious money and coffee spills were
common.

Not to jump in on Cyli's advise, however this is how our customer return
department took care of keyboards that were returned for repair. Just make
sure it's completely dry before using.

which could have then been put to use to make payments under the table
to some half-assed decent olinemen and running backs, thus sparing the
university from the universal humiliation that their football program has
presented, lo these many years...

and, would you remind me of the name of the national ****ing champions
in basketball?
