I've just done a search and, apparently, the canned air can be a bit 
iffy, since some comes with propellant that can finish up on the sensor 
screen. So, I've ordered a Giotto's Rocket instead. Over the internet of 
course. I believe in shopping locally, if I have the stamina.

  I asked Banana Computers, based in Ramsey, for a quote. A week later 
and they haven't bothered to reply. I'm expecting one from PC 
Specialists by the end of the week.

I do hope the Ramsey firm reply, so that I can tell them where to put 
their banana!
