why? the can's are metal and completely recyclable. cramming air into a can doesn't do any harm. -- nm

just MAKING the can, the energy to recycle the can, the fact that probably not every can gets recycled, the cost of buying it when you have a vaccuum - Danger Girl Oct 27, 08:09 7
- but what about the production of the vacuum? -- nm - decline Oct 27, 08:13 6
  - Won't somebody please think about the children?!?! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 08:15
  - presumably you're not buying a vaccum just to clean your computer. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 08:15 4
    - but anyone using a regular vacuum to clean a computer is not very smart - decline Oct 27, 08:16 3
      - use the attachments that usually come with it, duh. -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:18 2
        
        that's equally bad. the suction power of a normal vacuum is way to powerful -- nm - decline Oct 27, 08:19 1
        
        as I said a ways above, they usually have attachement that give a lower airflow -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:27
argh, the energy used to make, load, and transport the cans is a waste IMO in this case -- nm - zork Oct 27, 08:08 1
- Wouldn't having to build/transport a new computer (when you've detroyed yours by "dusting" it) take more? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 27, 08:10
