I wonder if the apocalypse resistant iBook will have these problems. If we had had laptops when I was in college (and they didn't exist yet by any means), I'm sure coffee would ave been the least of my worries about what got spilled into it. Let's see, beer, tequila, rum, coke, vodka, lime juice, salsa and pizza sauce (including particles of cheese grease) all come to mind on the list of corrosive agents (oh yeah, and the sauce that squeezes out of a Subway sandwich when you eat it). I wonder if the iBook is up to it!?! It certainly looks like it will "party"!
