contact as dust was forsed between a set of contacts some where most
likely on the Motherboard. Alas for the gold old days when you could fer Freon TF for a

Suck or blow, I don't think that matters...
you're saying the
composition of the tube makes a difference? I seem to remember
generating enough charge to make a PC reboot by blowing the
