Re: How to clean the dust off motherboards?

[buggie@musca.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

Somehow, the idea of paying high rates for compressed air in cans seems 
like a waste!

I just carry the board outside and huff-and-puff, BLOWING the dust off
the board.  Sometimes I use a clean cloth, moistened, and wipe the board, 
waiting at least an hour for the water to dry.

This has worked so far:   When I built my STEALTH-GS (IIgs motherboard in 
IIe casing), I had many tiny metal bits around the unit from the 
hacksaw-hacking of the back-panel metal.   I BLEW the pieces away, and 
nothing shorted ---- no sparks, no smoke!
