I found a real doozie of a story about 'Dust bunnies' in a PC, that should be cleaned out, but it was in the LangaList Plus (a subscription newsletter), so I can't post it, in case anyones reading this!

Yeh, I haven't posted any of my own stories yet! My lifes been real busy, and this has only just been set-up, so that's OK, right? Besides college is all but over for the moment anyways, so maybe I'll get some in soon. But I have posted some elses, and I guess I might do this as a kind of regular thing as I find them, to share all the goodies I find!

This isn't one of mine, but I couldn't resist posting it.

"Ha! I have a story to tell about screensavers. I was in Alaska, and went to optimize a friend's Packard Bell. I helped them load a screen saver that featured a dog howling at the moon. Well, I get a call several days later, their dog, agitated by the apparent presence of another canine in his territory, urinated on the computer. Destroyed his hard drive, had to clean off the circuitry with rubbing alcohol."
