Well, these days, probably not quite as hard-pushed as a year ago, given 
the exchange rate. ;)

True.  I'm allergic to dust mites, though, which is why I tend to avoid 
doing it.  Also, now that we don't have cats, it's just dust and not hair 
+ dust.

Indeed, that's why I also use a vacuum.  I have a little kit of 
attachments for cleaning electronics as well, though a good vacuum 
generally has enough suction that the dust isn't too much of a problem.

It's more about "downtime" - which for personal systems is silly.  I just 
don't like shutting things down. :)
