On a different list, we were told about compressed air canisters you can buy for blasting the crap out of keyboards; there was also a warning about keeping away from kids because of the chemicals in it.... in compressed air? love to know what the deal is there.
My Dad found a real gas canister which fitted his gas horn, cheaper than the compressed air. used it, it worked, not so good ecologically, but it wasn't so high profile then.
