    So...I guess I wrecked my keyboard while cleaning it off with wipes. Didn't really think their was much moisture, but...guess I was unlucky.

    So through the on screen keyboard, an external keyboard, and now remoting in to it, I have it backed up at least, but even using an external keyboard doesn't really work unless I can disable the internal.

    Anyone know if that's remotely easy to do? I'm guessing not by my standards...don't really like working in these things beyond the hard drive.

    I guess for now I'm going back to my old Asus-worst case scenario I set this up to run Folding @ Home on the CPU and GPU 24/7 :-D Hey, a desktop could have done more with that for less, but at least it would be doing hopefully useful work, and not explode in flames while I'm not around :-0
