I arguably my first vintage computer invaded by
apparently teeny tiny critters once! I had the box, a
TI PC, stuck in my parked van for a winter anyhow.
Thank your lucky stars that you didn't suffer the fate of one of our
customers several years ago. He'd pulled out his Zorba from storage,
opened the door of the A: drive and was bitten by several irritated
brown recluse spiders that had decided to call his luggable "home".
Out of curiosity, does anyone take any sort of precautions when
rescuing an old piece of equipment that's been in storage for awhile?
I can imagine that if brown recluse spiders can feel at home inside a
computer, black widow spiders also would, not to mention cockroaches,
etc.
If you're going to fumigate a piece of equipment, what's the least
destructive (to the equipment) fumigant?
Cheers,
Chuck
