...and miraculously comes back to life five hours later.

I am so happy, I could probably even have a pleasant conversation with bookshelf or hamfist right now.

That's great, OP. In my experience laptops die really easily. Yours must be magical or something.

My first thinkpad was like this too, I spilled all sorts of stuff on it, and it would shut off for awhile and then be back fine once it dried out. I love thinkpads.

I wonder if this is how Jesus felt.

@OP
Spilling whiskey on your laptop at 9 am on a Monday. Not sure if I'm in love or disgusted. I'll go with disgusted because that's where it always ends up.

Not even. Water at 3am.

I did spill a whiskey and coke on a work laptop this past summer. It died, and still reeked of booze when I turned it into the IT people.

i've dropped my laptop twice so far. How many more falls do you think it will take before it dies? Serious question.

Can't complain, it's a beautiful day and I'm out in this gorgeous weather. Perfect for jeans and shortsleeves, and I got some new shoes today that are super comfortable.

The Thinkpad is a marvel of human engineering.

@OP
You sure lucked out! To be on the safe side you should consider storing it in an airtight container with kitty litter or rice overnight for the next few weeks. Sometimes all can appear okay, but then suddenly no worky again.
