Tell us your Mac horror stories

I was surfing the web, doing my job here at TUAW trying to find the news and wacky links that you folks like so much when I came across this story from Ceejbot. She spilled coffee on her Powerbook and now it won't boot.

Horrifying.

I had a flashback to a few years ago when my Powerbook (a TiBook) was sitting on my desk mind its own business, counting 1's and 0's. It was a hot summer day and I reached for my large cup full of water. I knocked it over, directly onto my running Powerbook. The screen flickered, I saw some smoke and then I quickly shut it off.

I let it sit for a few days and, luckily, it booted up just like new.

I want to hear your Mac horror stories, the drops, the spills, the lighting-storms; I want it all!
