About a month ago I posted about my incident with MacBooks and koolaid.
Today is part two of that saga. Um, don't worry... I didn't spill koolaid on another macbook (that lesson has been learned and hopefully never to be repeated. There was a little residual from the incident that we encountered tonight though.
It turns out that there was one of my wife's DVDs still in the dead macbook. A friend of ours wanted to borrow this particular DVD and when we started looking for it, I realized where it was. Salt on the wound as I realized the DVD was stuck in the dead macbook.
Well, gallant husband that I am, I said that I would get it out.

The good news is that I was able to get the DVD out and got it to our friend.
P.S. If anyone would like to donate to our lost macbook replacement, I'll be happy to sell the old parts of the koolaid macbook. They make nice paperweights and would be good conversation starters for you too. :-)

Lesson Learned: If you're going to spill koolaid on a macbook make sure you have taken the DVDs out and backed up your information first. (If you forget, you'll have to totally tear up your very expensive paperweight of a macbook to get to the $15 DVD)
