Mac Wireless Keyboard WTTW

Word To The Wise - Just one or two drops of water dripped from a glass and landed on my keyboard today. I quickly dabbed them up but soon found my numbers 3 and 4 and the R key refused to work. I tried cleaning, blowing it out with a hair dryer to no avail.

Ok, back to the standard tethered keyboard but I couldn't stand it because the key layouts are so different. I had to jump on the bike and ride off to the downtown SF Flagship store to pick up another at $80 freaking dollars. I bought a ZCover keyboard cover - even tough I hate keyboard covers in general and would have preferred an iSkin keyboard cover but the whole shebang cost me about $112 freaking dollars. NOT a happy camper.

So be careful with your wireless keyboard. The old one served me well. I purchased it the day they were announced and now it is useless, sitting on the shelf with other broken hardware!

If it isn't one thing, it is another!
