Most of the dust we find in computers appears to be from construction being done in the areas, dirt from the bottom of shoes that gets stirred up as people walk across a floor and then pet/people hair. Placing the computer above 20" seems to eliminate 90% of the dust problem caused by floor traffic. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

Nope, the recession hasn't hit me at all. In fact, a few months ago I raised my prices. I have found that my business has shifted from 95% malware removal to about 40% today. The rest is hardware, networking, setup, etc. I chalk that up to Windows being more stable. Yesterday's agenda was a misconfigured router that couldn't connect to the Internet, networking a printer, malware removal, and a firewall problem prevening file sharing.
