I get at least one that size a year in the fire stair well next to my office (where I store most of my good computer parts... it pays to be friends with the local fire inspector). Although the ones I get don't look like that. Rather they are all black, with thinner legs (not quite as menacing looking, mine look like over grown black house spiders). But it was funny when the exterminator couldn't get one to die last year. He sprayed and sprayed, and the thing just kept relocating. He claimed the stuff should have killed it on contact (and it seemed to kill all other insects on contact). After about 8 squirts he gave up and stepped on it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
