well, asl long as anything producing power has been removed from the PCB( Power supply, Batteries ETC -- In particular CMOS batt), I've had very good luck with a similar alocohol treatment. Hell I ran an old Mobo through the dishwasher once with CMOS battery removed, and it came out nice shiny and working still. (not that I recommend that:)
Choice of actresses.. Bleh?! This is the same person that starred in Hackers! You remember that hollywood blockbuster nominated for all acting related oscars. Now that was quality. I guess you don't know a good actress when you see one.;)
While I like the battery life guesstimates they state, I will stick with my current iRiver iHP-120,...#2 player to the 20GB iPod IMHO. The navigation system on this carbon player looks way too clumsy and slow to browse.
When will companies learn that human interface is key, and should be just as important in the design process as the physical hardware and aesthetics. Apple has always seemed to have a firm grip on this, but others seem lacking these days. Without a good understandable and efficient interface, the best hardware is worthless in the mind of the acerage consumer.
I find the best use for old equipment is to sit in my closet for years and years. I just can't part with my old equipment.... cough* PackRat! I really should get rid of some of it.. but maybe later.
However sometimes I get crazy and make shadowboxes of my old stuff... for example http://www.dcliquidators.com/cpus.jpg

We can't let Law and Order have more spin offs than our beloved Treks!

Requests from others that want them? nah, the only people until now that knew of them were my friends that see them on the living room wall.
