[G4] What Have I Done To Deserve This

[gifutiger]

Greetings ( + )!( + )

Jo that's very interesting, because I used to work in manufacturing  
and all mother boards after going through the "Wave-Soldering" would  
then go through a "Water-bath" where all of the installed parts got wet.

I have been using compress air and caned compressed air on computers  
for more then 35 years. My first computer was the Titan I ICBM Ground  
Guidance computer, and I have never had any failures that could be  
trace back to condensation from compressed air.

However I strongly recommend using compress canned air, as there isn't  
any moisture in the can air, your storage after using the canned air  
must have been a location that had a high relative humidity.

Cheers
