Thanks to everyone who offered advice; something I was thinking
was to use warm water, and some dishwashing liquid. Does that
seem safe?
I used to use something similar when I worked for FLUKE-- we'd
use water with like a mild detergent. But then, these boards
were specifically manufactured to be cleaned this way.
I'll leave the corestacks alone (well, I'll use a soft brush to
remove the dust from the *outside* of the 'sandwich').
Thanks again, guys.
Jeff
