Re: [PLUG] Laptop reboots -- Comcast or static or age?


"Real" doesn't always equal *smart*, does it? 8^) Pain doesn't bother me as much when I know I'm not being hurt! The problem is that bad safety practices can lead to damage to the equipment or the tech. I definately don't want the tech to get hurt!

But, yeah, computer equipment is more likely to die before a person does. CRTs might have better odds. I would vote in favor of 220V equipment!

Real men work with high B+ voltages on their tubes and no grounding whatsoever.
Real men aren't afraid to stick their probes into powered-up equipment.
Real men shrug off a few hundred volts here and there.
