Steve Just had another thought, my wife used to be an air stewardess and had the rather unpleasant experience of tar / nicotine literally dripping down from the aircraft ceiling during a landing...all over some poor woman's white dress! Can you imagine??? And Phil said Yuck!? This is a real UrgHhh! No apology given! Maybe Jim Maguire formally of Boeing could shed some further light...

Gregory Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 05:42 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Cigarette Smoke and Computers... Hi all!! I've got a friend runs a company that provides computer systems and sets-up networks for small businesses, who asked me if I knew of anything documented about cigarette smoke damaging computers. He said that he sees problems all the time that he can relate to cigarette smoke damage. For instance; the tar and nicotine sticks to everything which attracts dust and contaminates to the insides, not to much of a problem on the boards, but the optical drives get hammered. He'd like to be able to show something documented instead of just him saying it, and asked if I knew of anything documented...I'm gonna search at lunchtime, but I thought I'd also ask the experts... Thanks! -Steve Gregory- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
