Who has dust issues with their tibook?

I just noticed this morning in the speaker holes it looks like there's a bunch of dust that is clogged. Anyone else have the same issue and what is the best way to get rid of the dust overall?

I imagine a weekly quick pass with some compressed air or a damp cloth may help.

You canīt get rid off the dust easily. The areas of the grids where no speaker/micro sits beneath are sealed with black adhesive tape and the adhesive collects dust like a black piano in a weaving mill. Itīs one of the minor design flaws of the Tiīs, live with it...

You would have to open the enclosure to clean it

vacuum? (I'd rather pull the dust away than push it in more with a can-o'-air)

Is it so hard to read?!? You cannot dust it off or vakuum it away. It sticks to the adhesive.
