Default Computer's worst enemy: Wine

Remarkable item in today's Palo Alto [California] Daily News (Sunday, March
6, 2005, page 10).

Diana Diamond reports asking a consultant at an Apple Computer retail store's
"Genius Bar" what was the principal repair problem with laptop Macs. "Wine,"
was the answer. People drinking and typing, spilling on the keyboard, "which
basically ruins the computer," requiring "almost a four-figure" repair job.
Red wine more often than white. [I guess they'd know, wouldn't they.]
Silicon Valley having a higher than average rate of these incidents.

www.paloaltodailynews.com is the general site, though at the moment, the
site warns that most links are temporarily down, and I could not get to an
online version of the text.

Don't drink and type.
