So far I have been fortunate that none of my Thinkpads have suffered
such a fate.  I have several PS/2 style keyboards and I have spilled
water into them on occasion.  Usually a key or two will not function so
I swap one in and set the non-working one aside.  A few months later
I'll repeat the event and swap the previously soaked keyboard back in
and it will work perfectly.

Classic IBM stuff is hell for stout!  It'll be a shame when good
quality hardware like this is no longer available.
