Hmmm...Hot chicks and hot candles!

That's what we need.

Sorry Blake - I'll stay on topic :)

An objective review of the benefits of scented candles in a computer user's room would be usefull.

They are cool people though, i spoke with his son at a 7-11 last week, he pulled up in his pumpkin orange gallardo to get a drink..i was sitting in my 86 crown vic with 250k on the odo, chewing on my gummies

That gallardo makes my knees weak...

I keep my office pretty closed up because of all the test equipment, temperature control, and the dusty conditions here in Vegas.

I burn a lot of candles because we have 2 cats and a dog, and I don't want people to say our house stinks. Jaemie got me into Yankee Candle products when she used to buy their car fresheners, and I've been hooked on their candles ever since.

I'm with Joker. Mandles are the best! Axle grease would be a good one.

Seriously, I love the smell of cinnamon, either plain or apple-cinnamon. I'm wondering, however, if one should have have them burning near a computer. They do give off oily soot (especially the cheaper ones) which I think would eventually coat a computer's innards.

Good thought, it could possibly have an effect similar to smoking by the computer.

Depends on what one is puffing as to how the effect will be on the CPU eh?

Shortening the wick by snipping it down with a pair of scissors (and keeping the wick "clean") should solve that problem with most candles.
