A long time ago a case fan I neglected to keep clean started to look pretty nasty from smoke and dust but some 99% isopropyl(sp?) alcohol cleaned it right up and then gave it a squirt of silicon lubricant inside the sleeve. Good as new. Too bad you cant do that to your lungs. |

It's one of those numbers that is hard to get data on but it is plenty. Pollution is deemed a necessary evil to avoid economic collapse so they don't want you to know. |

Did you see the movie "The Abyss" where the hero has to breath oxygen enriched liquid to survive diving at a very low ocean depth? It had struck me that if the guy had been a heavy smoker all that smoke residue and tar would start coming up from his lungs and cloud up the liquid so much he couldn't see where he was going. I bought that movie on DVD recently and haven't watched it yet. Says Special Edition on the box but I have no idea what is "special" about it. Maybe one day they will come up with a scrubbing device for our lungs that is similar to that breathing device in the Abyss. |

Yes, I never could handle the short time where you had to take all of the liquid into the lungs like they did in that movie. |

I watched the special edition the other day mostly i noticed the scenes where generaly a bit longer, hard to notice though, very well done mainly the ending is given in full i won't give it away, but a 'warning' is given, which isn't explained properly at all in the normal theatrical version they show on tv and such well worth the watch i say with with liquid breathing of a smoker, surely the stuff is so embedded into the lungs it wouldn't just 'wash' off or maybe some of it they recently smoked the hour before or something interesting thoughts though |

All the info I've read say that there's irrepairable damage done to the lungs. That's not to say that things don;t improve, they do. However cilla etc. have been 'killed', it's not like you get new lungs after two years. -- Shaun. "Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day.

Are they being sand-blasted away? The problem is more finding replacement fans for older heat sinks, some of them use unusual sizes that the local Fry's does not carry. Plus I have to wonder if one can really clean a heat sink without removing it and using a liquid cleaner to remove all of the grit. Blowing them out usually leaves a fine layer of grit on the fins and impacted in the crevices. |
