Sorry this took so long, I saw an ad for this very thing a day or two after you
posted your article and I kept forgetting to bring it in. Well here are two
different ones I saw:

Seen in "Computer Shopper's PC Clones" Jan. 1988 p. 23 New Products Column:

	"Visiflex Seels offer a tough, inexpensive protection against liquid
	spills, dust and dirt, and contaminants of all kinds..."
		Reprinted without permission, but an exact quote.

	No list price given.

The second one is was seen in an ad in "Byte" Dec. 1987 p. 102:

	SafeSkin
	"Protects Continuously - 24 Hours a day - Against computer downtime
	against liquid spills, dust, ashes, staples, paper clips and other
	environmental hazards..."
		Reprinted without permission, but an exact quote.
