I thought the group might like this message off Mac-l digest from yesterday:
Just have to share with my friends. I was working on my computer tonight and my husband yelled for me to "come see" from the other end of the house. I was immediately annoyed, but ran down there to see what was what. Well, he had an ant in his computer. Yes. an ant was running around inside his 22" Cinema Display. Inside. Acting like an ant. I thought (I really did) that it was some kind of funny simulation or trick, like those cats that used to be simulated and appear from the side of your screen and play around and run off the screen. No, apparently this was a real, physical ant ant. The kind that appear in Southern California by the millions and billions and trillions about this time of year, every year. This one found its way into his extremely expensive Cinema Display. I found that I could hardly bear it. It upset me, it bothered me. My husband was cracking up. It was the "invasion of reality". I couldn't get rid of it by zapping the PRAM, rebuilding the desktop, running Disk Warrior, hitting Command-Delete. I tried to take a screen shot of it but it would not appear in a screen shot. It was (ewwwww!!) REAL! Unbearable! I laughed until tears ran down my face. I mean, time to find another hobby besides this old Mac!! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
