Do you let her smoke near your Sun equipment ? I wouldn't let anyone
smoke near my Digital equipment - not even me.

I stopped smoking inside when I moved back into my parents' house about
5 years ago. Before that I used to get ash, bits of tobacco ("roll ya 
owns"), along with other goodies in my keyboards. Now I only get beer, 
coke, coffee, and bits of potatoe chip in my keyboard.
