Silly thought

[kengr]

After re-watching Hogfather, I got this evil idea. Since I can't afford it, I'll throw it open to you guys.

Build a custom PC. Use one of the cases with a big, clear window in the side. Then attach an ant farm to the window (on the inside) and slap on a big "Anthill Inside" sticker.

Got Ants?

Get a really old PC motherboard that still runs, something like a 12Mhz PC. The ants will act weird when it is turned on.

RF, I think

Back in those days I used to work on PCs, and there were often ants doing weird things in them, like marching in formation on the data and address busses.

I would think that would be a danger to both the ants and the computer.

The ant farm would be part of the side panel, The ants wouldn't have access to the guts of the computer.

Still, it could break.

Testing posting from Yahoo. It seems to be messed up because of the password change, only I can't figure out why.
