Pretty cool how this is so simple and works well. Did you know that most foam extinguishers have extracts from animal fat. It helps it form a surface. You might even be able to skip that and use a little cheap soap. If your dad is a good guy, you should think of as many good excuses as you can, e.g. school work, to get him to help you buy a eeepc. even second had and they work for most every thing you need. Then, he wouldn't need to worry about his computer.

also i did this i took a pin with the white ball at the end heated it up and poke a hole in the bottle cap and put that on instead of a rubber band also with the hole in the bottle so this way it squirts the mixure out of the hole when the reaction start between the two chemicals
