That's just because he turns the first three upside down and huffs them.

They freeze up fast. Man you should have seen the dust cloud generated by the machines in the supermarkets. Supermarkets are a dust factory. We would take the systems out to the dock and make sure we had good wind conditions before blowing them out.

Computers in hospitals, where the linen is always being changed, become full of incredible dust bunnies.
You can't just blow the stuff out, it would be re-absorbed by other equipment! You use a little vacuum.

Vacuums are great Van de Graaff generators...

Do we need any more Van de Graaffs?

Obviously, a special vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning computers. If you just blow the dust out with canned air, it will be re-absorbed either by the exact same computer or another one in the same area.

Reason for posting is that I bought some RAM from crucial.com - thanks for the tip. Used their scan utility, $60 for (2) 1GB sticks. Shipped pretty quick, the only surprise was that it was packed in a bare envelope with no padding, only a clamshell around each stick.

Oh yes, gotta take it outside to blow it out... plus you'd be breathing that shit too.
