When I moved my 500 into a new, carpeted room, I found a can of anti-static spray and wetted down the surrounding carpet and my chair. I haven't noticed any static in the room (or in the rest of the house for that matter -- it's been a fairly humid winter in north Georgia). If you can't get the regular anti-static spray, mix 1/2 cup of fabric softener with a gallon of water (make a half or quarter recipe if you don't have lots of friends or carpet), put some in a spray bottle, & use that. (Fabric softeners usually have chemical to eliminate "static cling" -- it also cuts down on the finger zaps.) I wouldn't recommend spraying the computer directly. :-) It wouldn't hurt to take other, previously-mentioned, precautions as well. (And don't blame me if this doesn't work -- I'm not making money off it....) My wife used it in the office where she used to work, and never had any static-related computer problems. -- Larry Kollar ...!gatech!dcatla!mclek The more I use MultiFinder, the more I like my Amiga.
