[PLUG] Anti-static vacuuming

[JP Vossen <jp@jpsdomain.org>]

New thread since the old one was hijacked.

If you are concerned about static when cleaning hardware why not just 
throw a grounding strap (wire) across the air-flow?  Path of least 
resistance and all that...

While I admit there is a theoretical danger, I've never been anything 
but half-assed in my approach to dealing with static while working on 
hardware and I've never had a problem.  I've used whatever was handy: 
regular canned air, my garage air compressor, and an assortment of 
vacuum cleaners with no ill-effects I'm aware of.

Later,
JP

Microsoft has single-handedly nullified Moore's Law.
Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus
and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race
has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows.
