[G4] milk spill on keyboard

[Johns Maillist]

OK, HERE is the solution:

Open the KB while wet, (Unplug it of course)
Place on floor outside back door
Wait until cats leave the area
Close and reinstall
The cats will clean AL the milk, and the saliva will dry and protect  
the KB with a film against future spills
Hope this helps, it saved mine.
