Don't Drink and Drive a TabletPC

A friend of mine just told me this sad tale, and I thought I'd share it with you for it's instructional value. It seems he had just returned from a hectic day of meetings to his hotel room. He fired up his Tablet PC to check his email. While he was waiting for it to boot up, he poured himself a nice Screwdriver. Noticing that that orange juice needed to be stirred he inadvertently used the cyberink pen for his Tablet PC. When he realized what he had done he was horrified to realize that he had used a highly sophisticated piece of electronic equipment to stir his drink as if it were a common, plastic swizzle stick. Frantically he tried writing with it to no avail. In desperation, he starting shaking it and knocking it against his hand over the keyboard. Naturally all the liquid went down from the pen into the keyboard. Now the keyboard didn't work either. Well, maybe it would dry out and be fine. Meanwhile maybe he could get the pen to dry out faster if he balanced it on the frame of the lampshade over the light bulb. He finished his drink and went to dinner. When he got back he remembered the cyberpen balanced on the lampshade. When he retrieved it, it was misshapen, melted, and still non-functional. He was able to read his email that night, but he couldn't reply, for he had no means of inputting a message with the keyboard nor the cyberpen. Four days later, when he told me the story, the keyboard still didn't work, and he was waiting for a box to arrive to ship his brand new Tablet PC back to the manufacturer. Let that be a lesson to us all not to drink and drive a computer.
