Watery Graves

What is it, exactly, about Blackberry devices and water? We’ve had two users this week completely trash their blackberries by dropping them in water, one in a pool, another in the tub.

    A few too many years ago, before PCs and Cell phones, I had my own business servicing electronics. It was amazing how much stuff can get dumped into TVs, I even had a good method to clean the boards, grain alcohol and a apprentice with a stiff brush…
