or you could avoid the dust issue in the first place by immersing the computer in mineral oil, keeping it clean.

Use veg oil and you can make french fries at the same time.

AND run your car on it afterwards!

And then as a sex lube.

Maybe you should try WD-40?

Thanks, hon.

Really, Merc should get the award, though...his post made me think of it.

WD-40 is not a lubricant. It is a solvent. It makes diarrhea. Obvious why he should get credit.

I know that. I was just making a joke.

not a good one. Yes thats an answer

Clodfobble · 02-19-2009, 01:30 PM

I thought it was funny.

But yes, I did have to read twice to make sure I was seeing what I thought I was. Deadpan jokes are harder to recognize, especially from someone who is so deadpan in the first place. I really recommend using the occasional smiley face, tw, they really do help with this typed-communication thing.

If you use the vaccuum you can short the processor from the charge?

I've used the vaccum cleaner on my laptop before and that does an OK job, however I find compressed air to work the best. Get a can and go crazy, you will be amazed at the amount of crap it shifts.

A while ago I used a vac to try and get some of the dog and cat fur off my laptop keys, and it took a couple of the keys off. They are back on now, so naturally I tried it again. Now one is loose. I'm learning. Slowly.
