Once I spilled a large container of water on a running IBM Thinkpad. The screen almost immediately went black and shut down. Before I could turn it off, it was dead. It was totally waterlogged. I blew off as much water as I could with some compressed air, then placed it in the oven on extra-low for about 15 minutes carefully monitoring the temperature. (seriously) [In retrospect I probably should have done this.]
Anyway, I gave it the night off and in the morning it booted with no problem. That was about 6 months ago. It is still running fine. Go ThinkPad!

In fact, Scheme is a dialect of LISP. The other dialect, CommonLisp, is probably too large.
That should have read "shouldn't have done this."
