[SATLUG] I/O Questions

MAN!  Don't you hate those!  You look in the system and see three years
worth of dust and want to ask them "HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF A
VACUUM???".  

Especially those computers that belong to smokers!!!  I'm so sick of
getting tar slime all over my hands and having it stink up my office for
days.  I've got to build a separate workbench area with
monitor/keyboard/mouse cables running into my office (of course, with
separate air systems).

KEEP THOSE FANS CLEAN PEOPLE......

    Sort of reminds me of the time I had puzzling errors when trying to
    install an OS to an ornery system.  I couldn't figure it out for a little
    while till I realized that the cpu heatsink was stuffed to the gills with
    dust bunnies.
    
    I was getting file copy errors, and when I cleaned out the heatsink, the
    errors went away, and everything ran great!
