I do clean out my case every once in awhile. I can tell you that the 5 high rises that are being build around my apartment building create allot more dust than my cigarettes. And trust me, I have more sense than to use my CD-ROM drive as an ash tray :-). The other weekend I pulled handfuls (literally) of dust balls out of a non-smokers machine, and mine has never even been close to being that bad. I would also have to argue that I am less productive when I am craving Nicotine, so I think that they should let me smoke at work as well :) Jesse
