Sure, just make sure that you power down before you get in the tub. And wait
10 seconds, otherwise you could cause irreparable damage to the Apple II,
the peripheral cards, or both. This will void your Apple warranty. *

Well, that photo is from March 2009, before I bathed the IIe. As for the Mac

the summer, and it is significantly yellower compared to the new Mac mini.
