It's the final round on the ESD beast that has been murdering my computer slowly over the last few weeks. This is me going to switch my PC on first thing in the morning. I used to laugh at those plastic covers that people put under their computer chairs so they can get around the floor easier. Well, it seems they were laughing back all this time and I didn't know it, because that is partly how you stop the static electricity zapping your computer.

I must say though, it seems my ancient PC has held up well against the onslaught of shock therapy every day. I do not want to push my luck any further with all this, as it only takes one small zap to kill a component.
