"Spatially", I guess. It's a tower case, with all expansion card slots occupied except the bottom one, and it's got nine drives on five buses, which makes for an entertaining tangle of ribbon cables and power splitters. There isn't really room for a pigeon to get inside it and there's nothing much for them to get a footing on, so they generally take no interest in it. They do like to perch on my Epson laser printer and shit into the works, but a jolly assortment of balloons taped to the printer sorts that out. Strangely, they leave my Canon laser printer alone. It's more of a problem when, for example, I leave the room to go to the toilet and forget to cover the keyboard. I've come back to find all my new mail in mutt marked as read, or rude suggestions to /dev/null a poster on another list. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
