My mom spilled a drink on my laptop and now I can't use about half the keyboard. (I'm posting from the family computer.) I'm freaking out (hello unbacked up thesis) and don't know what to do.

Do anyone have any advice at all?

what skola said. also, a USB flash drive should be plenty big for saving a thesis, and they are cheap (like, less than $10)

be careful about liquid sloshing around - make sure that it's as dry as you can make it before powering it up. You can set it in front of a fan to help drying.

what kind of drink got spilled? drinks with no sugar are more likely to leave you with a salvageable machine.

It was my beer. Which is still sitting there because I haven't drunk it.
