Maybe its those electronic eating ants that has been roaming Texas?

If they're army ants, call Homeland Security.

i know!! i just killed this one. i can't tell if it's just one or if there's been a bunch of different ones running around all day. they're so fast!

Maybe clean out the keyboard?

it's fairly new [after a 7-key mishap], and i don't often eat around my computer.

i'm wondering if i should take it apart at the same time that i'm worried about what i may find. lol.

If you live near Texas this might be a a problem you should look into right away. You may have Crazy Rassberry Ants in the PC.

I'd turn it off and remove the batteries if this is the case, then take it someplace to be disassembled and cleaned.
