    funny enough the term software/hardware bug came from the fact that moths use to fly into the relays of the first time electronic computers and destroy them.

    hmm... remember once where ants did similar damage to ma pops laptop couple years back. - the back light just stopped showing - when ma bro looked deeper into it he found antz all over behind tha lcd screen.

    reason for that was becaz i used to eat alot around it while on messenger mostly... so.. ye..

    was bak up an runnin after it was thoroughly cleaned

    lost a hard drive to ants. They got in there and damaged the read/write head. At the the time drives were very expensive
