[nfbcs] Physically cleaning a PC

[I. C. Bray]

Gabe,

Uhm, Sir, After 25 years in the field, and having worked in Hospitals, 
Manufacturing, and many various office environments, The advice is sound.


But do please, Moderator, kill the subject-- as no good deed appears to go 
un punished.

: um, sir in all due respect. I think you are giving very dangerous advice 
and I think you should just drop the subject. I could go on and on and tell 
you how you and your advice can completely destroy a machine but I won't, 
lets just say I have not stayed in business fixing hardware using a 
household vacuum. Moderator close this topic please.
