This may be the wrong place to ask this, but... I have an IBM PS/2 model 50, it is about a year and a half old and has functioned flawlessly since I purchased it. As I am going to have some free time during semester break, I thought it might be a good idea to take old faithful ( or the box from hell, depending on my mood ) apart and perform some PM (at the very least clean out the dust that must be accumulating). Does anyone have any tips/hints/warnings to share with me? I have a little experience working on computers (mainly Apples & PC clones). Please e-mail responses as our newsfeed appears to be down. Thanks_in_advance, Rw Hart (the lossel) nx3@h.cc.purdue.edu

There are essentially two schools of thought on this? 1. If it ain't broke, don't fix it also known as the Leave Well-Enough Alone school. The fear is if you touch it you might later regret it. 2. The school which says computers are happier without althe dirt. Take your choice! Fred

As I am going to have some free RULE NUMBER ONE (for fragile equipment): "If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT!!" -- +----------------------------------------+----------------------------+ | Mark S.
