RE: Some fodder for marketing, perhaps

I've seen PCs in just about every environment.  While I agree they're not
the best tool for the most extreme of conditions, dirty and dusty is not
necessarily an issue.  Again, YMMV, but the vast majority of shipping and
receiving docks I've seen are perfectly safe for a PC.  I'll grant you that
I've seen some that weren't; the receiving dock at an extrusion molding
company I knew was pretty bad due to all the dust everywhere (in fact, I
have to believe it was violating some sort of OSHA standards).  But in
general, if you're not on the factory floor itself next to equipment that
drills, grinds or otherwise generates fine particulate matter, PCs can be
made to survive.
