There's a risk with vacuums in that they may discharge static electricity into the case if there is close contact. I usually use a can of compressed air to blow dust out, while at the some time holding a vacuum in close proximity (but not in actual contact) in order to suck away the dust as it is blown clear. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nils Holland" <nils@tisys.org> To: "Gary W.
