AHA! the gremlins strike again! I have spent the better part of my life hunting down these furry little creature(yes they are furry, how else do you account for all the fuzz in computer cases?) So far i have found no known agent that repels the little mongrels. What I do know is:
1. they are relentless
2. though they can't speak they have a firm understanding of murphy's law and use it against us
3. if you do find one you must not show it to your wife before killing it, she will think its cute and allow it to go free
4. they prefer non-stock or ungraded systems to play in
5. they seem to be able to teleport using internet connctions as a guide to safely do so
and...
6. THEY EXIST!
