Well, the most _depressing_ strange thing I have found in a computer
recently is a PC-compatible motherboard. No, just kidding there. I have a
very mouse-ridden garage and recently pulled in a case from the garage to
use for something. I found a whole lot of mouse droppings inside it. Mice
in computers is a very bad thing. I've known the mouse urine and damage to
total out a whole office full of computers. Thankfully all I have out in
the garage are pc clones and junk like that. With six cats in the house,
it isn't likely any of my 'good' stuff is going to turn into a hotel for
rodents.
