Hah, yup, definitely lost a Macbook Pro to that (luckily it was only a 13"). I was 4 days away from a big demo with a client, so I turned it off, walked across the street and bought another one, went home and pulled the hard drive out of the coffee-enhanced one, and carried on.
In the aftermath, Apple wanted somewhere around $700 to fix it (motherboard, keyboard, trackpad). I ended up giving it to my very-handy-and-can't-see-any-hardware-die uncle, who found a company that specializes in repairing liquid soaked equipment. Only ended up costing him about $200 to fix it, but many hours of research and re-assembly.
