Amazon brought this to my attention:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...pf_rd_i=507846

Metro Vacuum ED500 DataVa 500-Watt, .75 HP Electric Duster (actually a
blower).

I know you're supposed to blow the dust off of equiptment and out of
motors every once in a while. Do you folks who do this use dedicated
compressors? This seems like it could perform dual duty (In the computer
room and the workshop), is exceptionally portable and doesn't take up as
much space. What do you think?

I'm pretty tempted to get one of these (saw it in a mail-order catalog, not
on Amazon) to blow the dust and lint out of the inside of my PC's. I try to
keep a can of compressed air around for the purpose but I keep forgetting to
replace them when they run out of air. Could be useful in the shop too, if
for no other reason than to blow off the last traces of sanding dust before
putting on a coat of finish (I don't own a compressor).

But if I get one I won't buy it from Amazon - I don't like their privacy
policy.
