And look for Rabbits.   And no, I'm not kidding.   I had a system where
the audio started getting flaky, disks not working right.  A rabbit had
gotten into my house (his calling cards were elsewhere..... man there
were a lot of them too).  Before he was dispatched, he managed to eat
through several cables coming out of the back of the computer.

Nice excuse for an audio system update.   Blamed Bugs :-)
