>>the new powermacs have easy opening doors no reason not to vacuum the inside<< Paul - I'm glad you mentioned that. Here's a tip. Vacuum cleaners can generate static electricity, which can damage circuits. It's not actually a good idea to use them on computers. The better way is to use compressed air to blow the dust out. It's a lot less convenient, since you have to deal with the dust in the air, but it's much safer. You can always either do it outside or set up a good air filter right next to the computer and turn it on high while you're blowing out the dust. This warning only applies to normal home vacuum cleaners. The little, low-powered vacuums that are made for computers are OK. But in my experience they are ineffective, so I stick with the compressed air. - Allen
