    Fruit fly inside my M17x?

    So last night I turned off all the lights in my apartment and played some games. All of a sudden I noticed a small fruit fly sitting on one of my keys, probably because of the lights. As I move my hand over him to make him fly away, he went between 2 keys and went under my keyboard.

    Now, there is a chance that he didn't and he flew away so fast I couldn't see (maybe its not possible to get into there?) But if it is, where could the fruit fly go at the point after getting under the keyboard? Would it be possible that he could die on something important and break the computer?

    Thanks

    So what you are saying is that your computer has a bug?

    sorry couldn't help it.

    no you should be fine, the voltages are much lower than back in the days where a bug in the system would actually cause real havoc.

    Haha nice you should feel honored that your post was so funny brisk joined just to comment :)

    Pi was one strange movie on a side note, but I did not know the m17x keys were spaced that much! Careful not to push down too hard on whichever letter he is hiding under :)
