First used to protect the skin of Atlas misslies? Cool ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wd-40 Article says the residue can attract dust. I once had an impoverished friend who used it on his Royal Enfield motorcycle and his elbow as linement! I have also known some who used it as hand cleaner. But skin contact is discouraged by the maker. I prefer to start with isopropyl alcohol to clean computers but have used WD-40 to clean electrical contacts in a pinch. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
