DIRT!!!!

Okay some of you are aware that computers get dusty inside and some
have no idea how bad it gets. On a regular basis when we get a computer
in the shop we open it up to check to see how bad it is inside and take it
outside and blow out all the dust with the compressor.


For one thing the dust does cause your computer to overheat and that
leads to blue screens and random reboots and the occasional software
corruption which could cause you to lose data.

For those of you who do not know what the dust looks like, I have
found an article showing off pictures of what seems to be an
exaggeration but trust me this is normal.

On this page there is quite a few pictures of what it actually looks like
when we open up a system that has been brought in to us.

When I take care of someone's system I don't only fiddle with the software
I deal with taking care of the whole thing.
