    Small vaccum would probably work

    I got an infractin for my earlier post of "I would run it through the dishwasher, that would get the dust out!"

    How G.A.Y!

    Reason: Other Minor
    -------
    Posts like "I would run it through the dishwasher, that will definetly get the dust out!". If you have a helpful suggestion, then post it. Don't post posting meaningless one word (or short) nonsense posts, or the such. Make sure your future posts comply with the forum rules

    But someones post of "use a hose" is ok?

    RETARDED!

    Ok im not the smartest person in the world, but someone explain to me how, my OP is meaningless one word (or short) nonsense posts? Would running a laptop through a dishwasher in fact get dust out? YES, so its not nonesense!

    Im just so tired of the stupid threads.... How do i remove dust? How do i clean my screen?... REALLY... are you friggin kiddin me!?!?!?! and I get the infraction, how about handing out infractions, for people opening new threads for a subject that is so common sense it hurts!

    You have a good point. If mods delete useless posts, why not delete useless threads?
