someone recently told me about a report that said that the dust from your computer may cause serious illnesses. this is serious news for people like us who spend hours on computers everyday.
some tips:
1) don't sleep in rooms that contain computers
2) don't leave computers on if you are not using them
3) put computers in areas where they will attract less dust (i.e. on the desk instead of on the floor
4) do not keep old computers lying around in your room, closet, etc.
as you can see, most of us (if not all) do all these things...
