I've got a bug in my brand new LC. I don't mean that there is something wrong, it works great. I mean that there is a family of frigging spiders living in the damn CPU. It was shipped to me via Virginia Tech. What can I do about this since it cant be good for the machine???????

Generally spiders eat samller bugs. Maybe the spiders are better than the alternatives, like perhaps dust mites. Or maybe they eat program bugs. b) Remember that these sentient beings were undoubtably your benefactors in a previous life. Tell them politely that you have found a nicer place for them to live...
