This is off subject, but i thought i would share it. I've been running my hack quite happily for 4 months as a main OS because i broke my macbook pro.
Details of the break: I spilt coke on the keyboard, and the command key then became permanently pressed in. I bought another wireless keyboard for it, and was using it just fine for a long time. I finally got around to buying a top case so i could put a new keyboard on the mac and not have to use an external keyboard. This however only lasted a month. AGAIN, some how a pint glass full of coke decided to fall over onto the keyboard, and i didn't even notice, or react. I turned around to see the coke had already soaked through and was dripping out the bottom, the fans were spinning at 100%, the display was off, and i feared for the worse. I opened the back to try and pull the battery, but i couldn't, trying to turn off my lil mbp did nothing, and the battery was fastened in and too hard to take off. So the little thing's fan span for about 5 minutes and then died. I must admit i cried a bit, especially as only a month earlier, i had taken the thing apart and rebuilt it with a new keyboard for the exact same reason.
I tried turning it on after a month, and it just did nothing.
5 months later, i've turned it back on, and everything works. Whaaaaaa? Just installed Lion to test it, and i think i might just sell it because my hack is so much better (and it's a desktop so if i spill **** on the keyboard, then who gives a crap?).
