[Motorola] Talk About Cell Phone question

[Joseph L. Rossmiller]

Well Jeff, if any damage is going to be done, it has already happened.  You should
have waited till it was dried before you turned it back on.  Most equipment will
still work properly after being soaked if allowed to dry.  I don't know this to be
true, but I had a friend who use to be in the Navy.  He once told me that they use
to clean the old tube radios in use at the time by tying a rope to them and throwing
them off the back of the boat.  After allowing them to dry, they still worked great,
and were clean.  I would not recommend this however.
