brownish-black. I like windows open and my parents
smoke outside
near that bedroom window.
When you don't smoke, and seriously avoid second hand smoke, your tolerance
for smoke smell gets very very low.
What I have noticed in the past is that the entry point of the smoke
catches a LOT of the stink, but the power supply is almost a filter trap. I
bought a pizza box mac (size of a large pizza box and about 3 inches high,
the 610 series box) that reeked. Stuck it in the garage and started working
on it, stinky work too.
I was afraid to really douse the motherboard, so I wiped it down with a
cloth dampened in window cleaner, then used an air duster on it. The floppy
drive and power supply though I took apart and flushed with contact
cleaner. After letting it dry a few days, then run for a week, the smell
isn't apparent unless the case is opened and you sniff the motherboard. I
can live with that.
