>Oh, Jill, you are _clearly_ not from New York. :)
No, I grew up in the 'burbs of New Jersey, where ants & crickets were the
two main invaders.....
The most unusual horde i've had in Tech Data was a mass attack of red
spider mites one summer - they didn't get into any of the documents, but
all my notes from that summer have little brown spots and smudges all over
them!
