Compressed air is bad?

Jimbo4817

I got a can of compressed air to clean out a pic I had sitting around and it seemed that if I spray it for a certain amount of time it will become cold and a liquid will come out. Will this harm my computer?

The liquid is fine so long as the computers not turned on. It evaporates very quickly. To avoid spraying liquid, always hold the can upright.

If you leave it to evaporate it should be fine but still, this is why you're not supposed to use the can in long sprays, only in bursts.
