Hmmm, but if you put a plastic restrictor on the vaccum, you get quite
a ai=
rflow going, and if you tape that up, I'd reckon it's similar to a
compress=
ed air can.

Why *I* never recomment compressed air is because it can blow - very, very
=
hard, things into places you don't want.  Specifically, 50% of an
engineeri=
ng department (50 folks) spent the morning looking around for spare
keyboar=
ds and hammering keys because some bright spark thought the cleaners
should=
blast the keyboards clean :-(

IMO, you need to decide where the crap is going to go, and choose push vs
p=
ull, but IMO, pulling is less likely to suck crap somewhere bad, unlike
pus=
hing - though maybe that's related to the hugeness of the push you get
from=
compressed air.
