Blasting air in generally has a lot of force, vacuums only have much air force when very close to the nozzle. But with a bit of distance involved, about all it does it draw moving air towards it. I tend to just use a small paintbrush to dislodge dust so it floats into the air, with a vacuum nozzle near enough to stop the dust settling back down, or me breathing it in. Pipe cleaners are good for getting the fluff out of heatsinks and around fan blades. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
