My friend water damaged my laptop

Last year while in my last year of university I had my laptop in the kitchen to do some work (everyone in my house regularly did this) when my friend accidentally spilt a whole pint of water on it.

I did not have insurance. The cost at Apple was around £400 to repair.

At the time I was sure that my friend should pay most of the cost for the broken laptop and I pay a bit also. Thinking back was this the wrong stance? I was a broke student with no money and my dad had just been made redundant so could not help me. My friend however had disposable income.

I’m now just thinking was I in the wrong - my friend basically ended our friendship over this situation.

I just had a similar accident where I spilled water on my Macbook, and I had to pay hundreds of dollars to get it fixed, even though I have the highest level of Applecare. You're lucky you didn't have to get the whole computer replaced! And I was lucky that that was all I had to pay--I have this on very good authority from someone I know who is an Apple Genius.
