My computer was built locally about 2 years ago. Two months ago the tech
put in a new motherboard, new processor chip and introduced me to Windows
XP. So the techs have been inside the case rather recently. I have sent
them an e-mail so I will probably be hearing from them soon. Probably get
chastised for messing with the power settings! Anyway it should not have a
lot of dust bunnies. In the meantime I am turning it off after using it
instead of leaving it on all the time as I was prone to do.
