Are you referring to 1,1,1, Trichlo-triflourorethane <sp?>? Heavy
stuff, compared to water, quick evaporating, unique odor? If so, I have
a 7 gallon can, mostly full. I bought it about 10 years ago when it was
still readily available. If you want a small amount, about 1 pint,
send me a Nalgene bottle, or a quality plastic bottle that won't be
attacked by the Trichlor, or a steel can, etc., and I'll send you some
back for the cost of postage. Of course, I wouldn't turn down a small
donation for my time. I use it mainly for defluxing boards or
degreasing/cleaning.

Your computer will do far more than you ever expected it to,
and that won't be enough.
