Well not like the Sidney Funnel Web, but yes they are dangerous.
SYDNEY!!!! They're *very* nasty, ranks up there as about the most
deadly spider in the world, the females bite can kill within 2 hours,
the males within 15 minutes. However, they generally don't lurk in old
computers :-) Shoes, clothes & beds are better :-)
Deaths are fairly rare though, anti venom has been available for some
time.
This thread recently came up in the Fidonet SF echo too, wonder if it's
spreading.....
