That's one of your best, Alex, I reckon.

Just an FYI it's CaffeineAddict.

Amen to that...definitely a goodie !

Alex, just one point, if you are using a cloth to clean the contacts of any components, then it should be a lint free, cotton or linen cloth as man-made fibres and sheep wool can cause static discharges and damage the component

Thanks, I added that info to the article.
Next time I'm at Home Depot I'll have to pick up a box of microfiber cleaning cloths.
