The average CPU (for example) works on about (say) 2 volts. Not all static discharges destroy the electonics immediately - they just reduce the component's life span. | johnd (85) | ||

There would be no way that any power company could find someone to work at a cheaper rate than a zombie, especially as a line service technician. Going back to the topic: I would always use an Anti-Static device when working on computer components. If I relied on myself remembering to continually ground my body, then I would have less working hardware than I do now. So there. |
