Thanks to everyone who answered my help request on the spilled water in the keyboard problem. In the past, (with older Macs) I've spilled liquids - coffee, wine - you'd think I'd learn by now... I was able to take the old keyboards apart, but I have to say after looking at this I think I won't, and will wait a bit and hope for the best. It looks like it needs a really teensy allen wrench, which I don't have. I probably overuse my e*clamation point anyways. margaret
