I am generally pretty good about taking care of my stuff, but in my job as a sysadmin I see a lot of stuff killed through accidents and carelessness. (A tsunami of soda into a $2500 Macbook today is what started this.) The two groups that kill the most stuff here are Sales and Senior Management. I swear it's like a big electronics mulcher up there.
FYI pull the power ASAP when you get electronics wet and give them a long time to dry. A lot of times it's not the moisture that kills it, but the electrical shorts it creates. I rinse things out with rubbing alcohol when possible to remove any residues and speed up the drying time. The macbook is getting this treatment now.
What shiny geegaws have the monkeys seen destroyed?
