I noticed that my VAIO was running a little hot, and upon lifting it off my desk and blowing into the CPU vent, was greeted by a faceful of dust.
I grabbed my trusty new can of "Blow-Off" and blew some in gingerly through the vent, figuring the stream of gas would clean out some more dust and help cool down the system.
Instead, it caught fire.
Literally.
What I hadn't noticed was the warning on the side of the can saying "Extremely flammable!"
I was so busy trying to blow the fire out, I didn't notice the neat singe job the flames were doing to eyebrows and arm hair.
I hate the smell of burnt hair.
Cheers...
