The spider is fine, seems to like my house anyway. I expect he's probably looking for a female given the time of year. Isn't causing me any problems anyway so I moved him to the kitchen and left him to his own devices.
As for the computer, the internals were actually very clean aside from the odd web. I think they probably took decent care of the machine while it was in use anyway, they do keep their house in good order so that probably extends to their other possessions.
I used to live in a mouse infested house some years ago, yeah, that was a pain in the ass. Don't see roaches around here though, only time I did see them was in school, at least, I think they were roaches. They sure liked the space behind the fridges anyway.
Disgusting online activity isn't something I would be liable to encounter on this one. I won't be going through the contents of the hard drive and will instead erase it if it even works enough for that. As they are an elderly Jehovah's Witness couple I doubt there would be much of anything interesting on there anyway, the contents are probably extremely boring. That and I like them enough that I really have no desire to go through their files. Plus they have never once tried to shove their religion down my throat - in fact, they have pretty much nothing to do with me and vice-verse, which suits me fine. My interaction with them goes as far as that we both say "Hi," If we pass each other on the front yard.
Sometimes though, when I get drives of unknown origin, I do like to take a look. I have never found anything too horrible, just instructions for drug manufacture or fetish porn (it was all legal thankfully, that is one thing that scares me about unknown drives) and a few banking details stored in plain text - such things are common place and I really don't care about them, they just get erased and forgotten. Once though there was a drive I was determined to get into because the guy who gave me it was a friend, he was usually laid back and trusted me... Not that time. It was the last time I saw him and he started freaking out about me going through the drive, which I promised I would not do. The system he gave me had two drives so he tore one out and destroyed the board on the bottom of it. It took me a few years, but his behavior (he actually got rather aggressive) rang alarm bells and I wanted to know why...
...Funny thing is, I think he destroyed the wrong drive. The one he left alone, and actually said I could go through, contained the more questionable content; he had stored some of his card numbers, things related to his tenancy, a copy of the anarchists cookbook, things for his university course and a bunch of phone numbers for people he knew including drug dealers and various women... Also a lot of photos from holidays, parties and family events. I didn't really look at this and formatted the drive. The drive he destroyed contained almost nothing but some very crappy music, some course work and some fetish porn - it wasn't even that bad - these files were boring as hell and told me nothing I didn't know; I knew he liked shit music, I knew he was doing a course at university, I knew he liked squirters, knew he read the anarchists cookbook and knew he liked his drugs - he was open about these things. The only thing I questioned were a set of encrypted files, they weren't encrypted well and I managed to decrypt them, they were just more of the same stuff that was on the first drive regarding banking, rent and university. The information on that drive was so far out of date it would have been impossible to really use it, it even referred repeatedly to an address he had lived at years ago it was so old. I still do not know why he flipped out the way he did, possibly it was drug influenced, but I ended up wiping the drive and dropping it in the trash because it was busted anyway. He had hidden nothing I couldn't have gotten better from the drive he said I could look at if I wanted to. Plus I knew all of it already because he had told me everything on numerous occasions. Fuck knows where he is now. Despite him occasionally behaving like that, he was actually a good guy and I liked hanging out with him, sure he had his issues, but so does everyone and it was always a laugh.
I may post more photos of the Celeron today, the camera was being nothing but trouble yesterday.
