I'm glad to hear it's OK. I think you were fortunate that it was pure 
water. As I understand it, distilled water is OK [it's what the circuit 
boards are washed in!]; tap water is not that evil if dried properly 
(likewise with black coffee); but anything acidic (coke) or salty is 
very destructive.
