A moth, to be precise.

I was enjoying a bit of late-night computing, windows (the glass kind, not the crashy kind) flung open to catch a bit of summer breeze. After about an hour, I was frequently attacked by all kinds of wee flying beasties which had been attracted by the laptop's LCD (damn OS X for being so *white*!).

So, I went to put the machine to sleep, flicked away what I thought was all the bugs, and shut the lid.

This morning, I opened the thing up to find moth-dust all over the screen, and a dead-but-intact giant moth stuck to the keyboard. What a way to die.

The dust came off OK, but I had to pop off the S key to retrieve a moth-leg. No harm, no foul.

My MBP has now claimed its first life. Who or what will be next? :eek:

When I read the bolded part, I thought you were talking about Vista, then I read 'the crashy kind' & i was like....Vista isn't crashy? haha it took me a while to understand it. :eek: ;) :)

Yes, as soon as we hear any reference to "windows", we just automatically assume it is about that terrible OS that Microsoft makes. :D
