RE: OT: Help Required, don't know where else to look!!

["Neil Wrightson" <neilw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The issue to watch with compressed air, is that depending on how the
air is
compressed, it can have water vapour in it that obviously does not go well
with electronics.

If the compressed air is from an aerosol can then this is fine.

If the compressed air is coming from a compressor, then there is a good
chance that it will be blowing moisture as well. Even when they have a
water
trap in the line.

With compressed air you can get a blast of air from several inches away
that
will displace most dust-bunnies (and you can use a very slim straw as an
extension for hard to reach places) ... whereas with a vacuum cleaner you
basically have to be touching the item (which could cause damage) to get
enough air movement to shift those wascaly wabbits...
