Competition. It pushes us to do better.

Though the one being used lacks a key, one ALWAYS seems to stick
(my fault, there, a drink that dribbled); it will
continue to be used until it is unusable
Thanks for the continuing report, PP and kudos on your superb
memory after two years time :-)

LOL, it happened to me just a couple weeks ago.

My daughter was home from graduate school (Cal Berkeley) and put her Mac computer on the dining table.

Me the dummie spills a glass of water on the table and it enters one of the side connectors.

The computer goes kaput and we spend a couple days thinking how to fix.

So just after I spent a couple hours updating my used computer for her to use as a substitute, I get an email from her saying her Mac is working fine again!

And I remarked, “You just knew that Steve Jobs was finicky enough. He wasn’t going to let a simple water spill to a cable connector take out his motherboard.”

Didn’t make any sense. So good engineering saved the day on that one. Oh, and my daughter was impressed that I spent the time to get set up with my old computer.

Win/win... :- )
