that spiders are carnivorous and very territorial? I suspect they'll find the dry empty husk of the missing spider somewhere in the tangle of web. This is why spider silk can't be made in commercial quantities by raising hoardes of spiders, they eat each other. Then again, maybe the missing spider is out trying to retrieve the missing tool bag.
I have the add-on unit sitting next to two, still working, Sinclair/Timex computers upstairs in my lavaboratory (an unused bathroom perfect for my electronics gear and naturally equipped for expressing my feelings when things don't work as planned). For the time and the money the Adam worked remarkably well, when it worked at all. The daisy wheel printer was excruciatingly slow but the results were better than most home and office PC's of the time. The only affordable printing alternative was poor print quality dot matrix.
