    I just saw a guy on youtube spill some water on his keyboard and it survived. Is my t60 spill proof?

    don't call it water proof. It's "spill resistant"

    and yes, your T60 is. Look at the bottom of you lappy, you will see two holes labled as such (with "water drops")

    Yes, me. Coco cola on my R40 :)
    It survived, but I cleaned it inside. Mine did not had this feature.
    :D

    No, at least not because o coca cola :) I was lucky + disassembly and careful cleaning saved it.

    I recently had a water bottle in my bag leak into my T60 keyboard. It wasn't too much and leaving it open is all it took to dry out. The T60 is not water proof like a rugged notebook, but it does protect against mild spills.
