So i'm new to the forums, never really had a question about ubuntu that i couldn't find with a Google search, and i know this post is a bit off topic for what is usually posted here, but it wasn't posted and i feel like its something that should be documented.
I live in southwestern Florida, and out of all the wonderful things we have here we have issues with literal bugs, specifically mites and "Ghost Ants" and i was wondering if anyone else has seen this.
In high school i was going to a separate online school and was also working at my local school district as a paid intern in System Administration. Out of all the issues we had with the Dell Optiplex series of desktops the school bought several years beforehand one of the most common was bugs, and no not software bugs, literally bugs, usually mites and spiders living inside of the large XP era of desktops we had at the school. Upon opening a desktop for upgrade/repair/stripping we would always put it in another room inside of a box, and pull off the side of the desktop and hope that there wasn't a colony of mites or spiders living inside. For every 10 desktops we popped the case on, usually 3/10 were infested with mites, spiders, or sometimes even ghost ants. I was just posting this on the Ubuntu forums because 15m ago i was installing 14.04.1 to my roommates heavily upgraded Optiplex and found a colony of mites and spiders living inside the case of the machine and had a freaky nostalgia flashback to working at the school district. I'm posting to see if any of you other guys who have worked in IT have had similar problems with bugs living inside of desktops/laptops/peripherals. I'm talking thousands of mites per desktop flowing out of the case of a desktop when you pop the cover, and no, we don't live like animals, we just live in southwest FL. Feel free to comment or share any stories of any "Buggy" computers you've came across, and not just the ones running windows vista piloted by senior citizens who got the FBI Porno Scam for the third time this month. Can anyone else relate to my story? Or am i just the only person on these forums who's ever experienced something of this severity?
