A bit unrelated, but there was a thread on the Scottish LUG on 
the use of WD40.
Someone said that he had a noisy case cooling fan,
and was advised to try a squirt of WD40. Someone else came
back and said that WD40 had ruined his motherboard.
Reason given was that it is conductive - I'm not sure.
Do you know, Harry?

By the way, I think the real fix is to use a small drop of light mineral
oil, NOT WD40.
