Hello!

A service man, while working on a persistant and difficult problem 
with some of our new PCs, was grasping for straws and stuck his 
multi-meter in the AC outlet. He noticed 118v, ok, and then noticed 
between .2 and .8v between the Neutral and the Ground. He thinks it 
should be 0v and MAY be a contributing factor to our "problems". (The
problems, not to bore you, are intermittent keyboard line failures 
during bootup on some DEC/TANDY PCs.)

Now, one of our guys was checking into it and found that while the 
Hot was a clean sine wave, the Neutral was a bit "fuzzy". He 
also noticed that voltage between Neutral and Ground went to zero 
whent there was no load on the line.

What I am asking you, the world, is this BULLSHIT, or NOT????

From my simple knowledge of electricty, I vote for Bull-doo-doo. Before 
we invest any further energy into this drain, what do you think? Am I 
right, or not?

What is the best/simplest way to check the AC line?
