my tibook gets really dusty, and one part in particular was giving me some concerns.

when you open the back panel of the tibook where all the plugin components are, i noticed that the center 'grill'piece is extremely dusty. i did my best to remove the dust hanging on the inside edges of the grill with a toothpick, but i can't get all the dust off of the piece immediate to the viewing eye(looks like a fan?) behind the grill. it is very dusty and i'd really like to get rid of it. whats the best way to do this without having dust spread inside the machine?

are the fans normally designed to keep the dust out of the wrong places inside the machine? thanks

Where do you use your book? I use it everywhere (even in bed) and dust is not a big deal for me. Suggestion: buy or borough some compressed air can, open the keyboard and dust of the mainboard and other guts.
