Re: Dust and Computers

Dust is a killer for computers, but dust on a  keyboard is not a concern. I
would not add the drawers to cut down on dust. You may want to add
keyboards to save desktop space. As for the dust and dirt on keyboards,
just take the keyboards home every three to four month and run them through
the dishwasher. Let them set in the sun for a day to get all the moisture
out. Works Great.
