    Thought of sharing this with u folks....

    My heart almost stopped when a retarded friend of mine decided to test the water drain system of my thinkpad z61t in front of my very eyes. He just got a big glass of water and poured all of it on my thinkpad after I told him about this drain 'feature' of thinkpads. The system just stopped without any warning. My retarded friend was laughing(I didnt know he was this sadistic!!!) seeing my system blackout. I immediately removed all the parts(dvd drive,battery, Keyboard,palmrest,harddrive) out of the system and 'dried' it up with a fan. I half heartedly started the computer after an hour to see the Thinkpad start normally(big sigh!!!) and we both couldnt believe it. So the drain actually worked.

    Thanks to the team who designed it.
