I also have a orphaned chopstick that I specifically use for this. Always
feel better not having to poke around the motherboard with something made of
metal. While it is a perfect size for most of the Apple daughtercards (fits
between the card and the heatsink), most of the upgrade cards have a bunch
of whatnots and  doodads on the cards that prevent you from getting to the
switch (what rocket scientist decided to put the cuda switch under the
processor card?). When I dropped a ZIF carrier into my 8500, I found that
the little straw from my compressed air can was small enough and flexible
enough to wiggle through the forest of  flux capacitors in order to get to
the switch. Unfortunately this has to be done by feel as there is no way of
even seeing the switch.

The chopstick and the straw go in my "hi-tech tools" drawer next to my
paperclip.
