[TenTec] How handle DUST?

[kw9t at arrl.net]

My wife is frequently dusting in the shack (using a microfiber dust rag) 
with an occasional spritz of Windex on the rag. I'm always telling her to 
watch out for the rocker switches and worried she might damage somethng like 
the LCD screen on the Orion.. Little did I know how helpful she is being. 
There is never any dust on the Orion II, the 238B tuner or the Titan III 
cases.

Conclusion: Get a wife or a housekeeper, but be careful of those rocker 
switches and screens!

Alan, KW9T
