beer in my keyboard

Well, it finally happened, as I had long predicted it would. 

About a month ago I accidentally spilled a few ounces of beer into my 
1987 IBM Model M keyboard. The beer was Summit Extra Pale Ale (St. 
Paul, Minn). As I thought it might, the keyboard began to malfunction. 
Reasoning that it would be better to flush out the offending beverage 
than let it dry inside the keyboard, I unplugged the board and 
thoroughly flushed it with tap water. I mean, I completely drenched it, 
and then drained it. After drying for about 2 weeks, I put the keyboard 
back into service, and all is well. It works just fine.

In case anybody cares.
