 Don't laugh.  I'm getting complaints around
here about one of my computers
the SMS-1000 (PDP-11/73) smelling of mold and mildew, and have been asked
to either remove it, or spray it down with Lysol.  How safe is it to spray
a computer down with Lysol?  Obviously I'd not run it for a while if I do. 
Well, I know it kills germs and bacteria, but I'm not sure about computer
virii.

Seriously, I don't see a problem, just try to keep it away from the boards,
let it dry thoroughly if you get alot of buildup, and you should be good to
go.
