[Hidden-tech] Re: Vacuuming computers

[Will Loving]

Exercise great caution when vacuuming computers, especially in the winter
when the air is dry. Vacuums, unless they are specially built, can build up
a large static charge on the nozzle, potentially causing damage to
components in the computer. Compressed air is a safer bet.
