[A6] The Case of the Jumping Spider

[Kenneth Martinez]

Once while using my Kurzweil K2500 I saw the silhouette of a spider 
crossing the LCD screen (between the LCD inside and the clear cover 
which is part of the outer case)... powered off, opened the case and 
couldn't find it.  I made sure there were no cobwebs on any components 
(there weren't), turned it back on and it has worked fine ever since

> I was setting up the A-6, Micron etc., when I saw a little spider  
> walking on the A-6 keyboard.
> The little piece of you know what, stop walking when it saw me and  
> turning around and had the

> and got inside it.

> Well,  I had but one option : Turn everything off.
> After waiting and waiting for the spider to come out of the Micron I  
> decided to asphyxiated by
> wrapping the Micron in a plastic bag.
> I live in a new building and everything is clean, plus I always cover  
> all of my equipment to keep it
> clean and dust free.
> I went to different spider sites and they say that these spiders die  
> quickly in a dry enclosed
> environment; so how long should I wait until unwrapping the Micron  
> from that bag?
> 
> Also, What damage can this spider and other of its kind do to your  
> keyboard when unnoticed?
> 
> I'm so furious and frustrated cause I don't know what to do.
> Any suggestions and ways to get rid of it or them will be appreciated.
