Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?

Do

Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord;
Remove the computer's battery if it's a portable Mac;
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.);
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out;
Note what was spilled on your Mac;
Bring the computer into Mactivate as soon as possible.

Don't

Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways;
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around);
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
