Re: [GTALUG] computer hardware testing tools.

Are there actual sparks that you know of? The only kinds of sparks that I'd accept are 1. When you unplug a heavy (inductive?) load, like an ordinary electric kettle. That seems to be normal. 2. Static electricity -- when you get grounded after shuffling across a carpet when humidity is low (winter, if you have no humidifier). Also after putting on or off a nylon coat. Anything else sounds unsafe. I'm not an expert in these matters. | From: Karen Lewellen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | My landlord has offered a dedicated line in the living room, but I am unsure | that will solve the computer problems in my office, sparks from somewhere | impacting my system.
