Tragic Chemical Spill

madrobinsCoffee. This morning. All over my keyboard.
Mopped everything up, things seemed to be forgiving. Then the E stopped working. Then the L got stuck. When it was time for me to head downtown for my lunch date I put the laptop in sleep mode. It now will not wake up. When I pulled the battery (the hardest reboot of which I am capable) and restarted the laptop the fan spun up busily, but no other signs of life.
I know I need a new laptop; this one has soldiered on bravely for Lo, these Many Years. But this isn't a good time to need a new laptop.
At least, thanks to Time Machine, I have a totally up to date backup (except for the edits I did this morning, which is a loss but not a critical one).
