Flame retardant smell Re: My computer situation (update, w/ recommended computer)

[Guest guest]

Is this smell the same that is in all new electronic equipment

anymore? It smells kind of like machine oil to me. I cannot find a

pair of headphones to talk on skype that does not have this stench

and it also rubs off onto whatever part of me it touches.
