I just blow it across the display and around the Braille keys to
keep dust from falling into them.
The canned air can has a little straw which directs the stream
of air where you want it to go. My sighted friend and the
husband of a blind friend have told us that they can see dust
blowing away from the machine and into the air.
I've used canned air since I got my first BrailleNote in 2003,
and it's never caused me any problems. Also, because the can is
located right here on my desk, I don't have to stop writing to
blow out the dust. I don't even have to leave my chair or the
room to reach the can.

confused. Do you do it differently from the rag in some cases?
