Spring Cleaning (humor)

Spring is the time of year when we like to open windows to air things out and give our homes a top to bottom spit and polish. This is also a good time to remove the accumulated dust from our PC.

There is, however, one area on our PCs that is frequently neglected -- the inside of the computer monitor. I read recently that all computer screens on the inside are covered with bacteria, dust, germs, etc. that can be dangerous to your health.

"This is caused by a variety of reasons and it can prove to be a health hazard for everyone that uses the computer. Some at the CDC in Atlanta have recently said that this problem can be as dangerous as cigarette smoking because of the time that most of us are now spending on computers for work and personal reasons."

The link below is to a special program that I discovered. It is free for personal use and is claimed to be able to correct this fast growing potential health problem.
