LOL! My wishful thinking was that it was the brand name of a miracle cure
for the a) sticking keys, b) bloody great white stain on the LCD! I had
heard there is a spray for fixing problem A, without disassembly?

The best solution, of course, is to not spill tea on one's laptop in the
first place. However, having placed the tea a sensible distance away, I
failed to anticipate my brother throwing a cabbage at said tea.
