exactly that's why I don't use an external keyboard I'd prefer that and keeping my mac closed to keep kitties off the built in keyboard maybe it will last longer that way not to mention that often I'd put the mac on the home theater in the living room and kick back with the wireless keyboard in my lap instead of the laptop Id rather spill a drink in my keyboard than my mac
