Even more odd...
A couple of years ago my ex went out of town for several days. When she came back her G3 laptop was infested with ants - not on the laptop, but in it. It had been laying on the floor of her room. There were no ants in her room, or elsewhere in the apartment... just in her computer.
Thousands of them.
The laptop didn't work at all when she came back... sent it to Apple for warranty work. They had to replace several components, including HDD and CD drive. There were ants in the screen... ants everywhere.
Even after Apple cleaned out the computer and replaced the jammed and/or fried parts, you could still see a few bastards through the clear housing in some places.
Never could figure out what drew them to the laptop, and why they didn't go for the open bag of chips on her counter, or the hundreds of other things in the apartment I would have thought would be more tasty than a computer.
