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!
