Default Survived a swimming pool plunge!

So I stepped into a swimming pool. Long story, not much alchohol involved. Storm was on but in magnetic holster. Bottom line: After time under the hair dryer and a couple of days rest, everthing is working great. Unbelievable! Any cautions for the future? Needs to last me through October before I can upgrade.

Don't take it in the pool again.

A dehumidifier works best for this. Do not turn it on until you are SURE it is dry!

So far I've been lucky. At the beginning I was super careful, but over the years it doesn't seem very valuable as a device with it being somewhat outdated and laggy and just not very good. It has stood up to many falls and scratched and scrapes and being stepped on numerous times though.
