Yeah, my daughter was handing me a plate of spaghetti across the table and slipped and spilled it all over my (open) laptop...
I screamed ... she started crying ... and my laptop (with a s-load of family pics/movies in it) was totally ruined... 6 months and a new motherboard and hard-drive(and other incidentals that had shorted out with spaghetti sauce) later , I was able to rescue about 50% of the data and pics and such from the now 'juicey' hard-drive .
You got spaghetti syndromed. That sucks, sorry you had to go through that. Yeah losing data is becoming more and more common.
