DeOxit?

[tomg]

So you are the one that's responsible for that 200 sq mile
hole in the ozone! Lot's of CFCs Harry. The EPA made
them change a few things but mostly I think it was the
propellant. You can't get the liquid eye-dropper bottle 
anymore ether...at least I haven't seen it.

It may be psycho....Hell! I might be psycho but I don't think 
it works as well as it used to. When I  first started using it, 
it was like magic. I was dragging out every piece of scratchy
equipment we had. BTW I have one can left too that's just 
for my stuff. I remember a lot of  techs bought a case before 
the change, not me though. I don't remember my reasoning...
I was probably broke..;-)
