Okay, so this time it wasn't a month, and it wasn't the computer itself.

Today on CNN:
       "(IDG) -- Everyone's heard of computer viruses, but it was bugs
        that put the brakes on a $5.5 million network project at a school
        district in Texas.  No, not software bugs, but the creepy, crawly
        kind - crickets, to be exact."

The full story is at

(I've also heard a few stories about ants invading the battery compartment
in laptops.)
