Moth went in one of my PC Fans

[Emphacy]

Had a client with MICE in her PC. HOW the mouse got in i have no idea!? She only realised there was a problem when she heard 'chirping' inside the case, i gagged and almost fainted when i took the side off, half of the pups had died. Took it outside, took the hdd out and recovered the data. No way was that pc getting used again. Sickens me to this day.

Jesus christ, I can only imagine.
Maybe someone told her she needed a mouse to work her PC....

You know Deadmau5 is called that because he found a dead mouse in his PC and nobody believed him on some internet forum, and he became known as the Dead mouse guy?

There's todays fact from Jamiman

Oh its true mate, i think maybe bracket blanks were missing and the thin gaps between were made with verrry soft metal so it was no biggie for the mouse to get in and give birth in there. Maybe it was the warmth or something. Was a horrible scene and even 10yrs+ on it sickens me, luckily the pups hadn't died that long and didn't start to smell but the sight and slight smell alone haunts me. Wore a mask and looked at the hdd only while i was getting it out, was a Pentium 133 or something so even 10yrs ago it was getting long in the tooth so we salvaged nothing.

Off subject but we have a bird house in the garden and the birds had babys and one morning I came down for work and our cat had got in some how and there were dead babys all over the back garden. That sickened me mate.

On the bright side cat didnt need fed for a month.

hmm, tempted to put the blank spacers back on the case.......cat does bring mice in.

This is the whole reason we call them computer `bugs` and where `debugging` came from :

This is because in 1947, a moth got stuck in a circuit in the Harvard University Mark II Aiken Relay Calculator (a primitive computer), causing it to malfunction. When they got it out and fixed the problem, they coined the turn "debugging" a computer. The name stuck.

So how did they come up with the mouse?

It's true and pretty cool at the same time.

He was called Dead Mouse Guy but the name was too long to post all the time so they shortened it to Deadmau5, coolest producer name ever TBH.

Still baffles me why people pronounce it "Dead More Five"....
