She apologized. The Mac seemed fine; I kept using it. I'm an idiot. If your Mac (or other electronic device) gets wet, turn it off right away.

Nearly an hour later, as I finished up a story for this very publication, the MacBook Pro stalled as I tried to save the last 400 words or so. The whole system froze. I shut it down by holding down the power button for a few seconds, gave it a moment, and then restarted it.

That was foolish, too. But at this point I wasn't thinking about 13F and her spilled water at all; I thought my Mac had locked up for one reason or another, and the Sky-High Spill didn't even register in my memory. Regardless, the Mac failed to boot up; it would shut down after hanging on the startup screen for about a half minute or so.

The Twitter followers reading along with my in-flight saga suggested that I take down 13F's contact information, which she declined to give. But a flight attendant had witnessed the incident at least, and said that she would recollect it if I contacted Virgin should my MacBook Pro's problems not have a simple solution.
