sorry to hear of your accident. i would HIGHLY recommend a moshi clearguard keyboard protector to everyone. i does a super job keeping all kinds of junk off of the keyboard. probably would do a great job protecting from spills also.
the price of $25 seems like alot for a molded piece of silicone, but it is really cheap insurance, and also keeps the keys looking new.
It also doesnt help with the temps and actually wouldn't have helped in this case as the cider went in underneath and he turned his mbp upside down.
Nice plug though.
