Dear List,

First of all Happy Holidays to one and all.

I've got a Gateway P5-100 and we bought it back in '96. Lately my console
has been making some unusual sounds. It kind of sounds like the fan is
straining somehow then it goes quiet again. Or it sounds like our Bassett
Hound who does heavy breathing whenever you're eating something. I've
dusted the console and blown out some of the gunk on the outside but I'm
leary about opening it up and using the can of air on the inside. I
thought about taking it to Sperry TV for cleaning but I wanted to get
some of your opinions before taking "Buford" to the cleaners. It's not
affecting the computer in any way but I don't want to wait for something
to really go wrong then be without the computer for weeks.

TIA
Lynn Kucera
