HA HA HA - there is nothing NOT PC about your method, it just doesn't work well in most cases. Sure, if all you have is loose dust bunnies, but when you take a look at a computer that's sat on a carpeted floor in a home where the owner doesn't vac for weeks at a time, has two pets, etc... You can't get enough pressure to blow out enough dust, at least not with the common mouth - but you seem to have more pressure than most of us :-) -- 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.

Yes, but it is more the electrostatic (electric) fields that attract debris. <w> Dry process (xerography) photocopiers cause problems for some critical equipment. Wet process copiers are used in these circumstances. It is the dry carbon molecules floating about that get attracted by the E fields. I'm not saying that other debris isn't attracted to magnets however.

That depends on the dust. Consider that a large percentage of dust comes from iron bearing asteroids (meteoroids).

Cite? The sources I've seen all seem to agree that common household dust is mostly comprised of dead skin cells, dust mites and their dried feces, and bits of fiber from fabrics. No mention of iron bearing asteroids. |
