The rush of air can generate static charges that fry sensitive components such as DRAM. If you use a vacuum, try to get one with a METAL nozzle that you can ground to the computer's case. Plug the system itself into a power strip that is turned off but still attached to a well-grounded outlet. This will keep the case grounded and minimize the risk of zappage. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
