Ahh... I agree.  Don't use aerosols in a computer.  Use a drop of thin
oil on the end of a needle to lubricate a fan bearing.

WD40 and 3-in-1 are both suitable (thin) oils, but don't buy them in
aerosols.  If you MUST spray oil (eg to stop ferrous metal rusting)
then use an empty kitchen sprayer - not an aerosol!
