A word of caution: a few years back, several people warned me about the use
of mothballs around computers and other electronic equipment. I was told
that if near copper (not necessarily right next to it) a chemical reaction
can result that harms the copper (e.g. some circuit boards, etc.). Has
anyone here heard anything about this?
