I had a clamshell iMac and a client dumped coke all over it.
We shut down, removed the battery, and let the keyboard dry out.
It was fine, altho a tad sticky and kept some of the coke color in the
keys.

Since there is no physical electrical connection it's as if you
turned off the KB.
heh. That's just no fun. Everyone knows that electrical shorts
travel thru the aether just as well as they travel through metal and
maple syrup. humph. Darn. There's a cat whisker in my coffee mug
again. No wonder r new furball (7mos!) is so boingy!

And don't put any new Mac keyboards through the wash cycle; this
worked with the older ones, but the new aluminum ones are actually
glued together and do not mix with liquids at all.
Um, yea, what Bruce said. The days of dishwasherin' gear are Over.
