My Amiga attacked me!!!!! Late last night, after a hard day of hacking, I noticed that my monitor's screen was dusty (thus aggravating a glare problem). So, I broke out the windex and sprayed the screen (getting both the screen and my hands somewhat damp. So there I am with damp hand listening to my Walkman about to clean the screen when just as my hand contacts the screen, a bolt of lightning jumps from the monitor, races up my arms and exits (quite abruptly through the walkman's ear phones! Can you say electroshock threapy, Can you say pissing on an electric fence.... Yow... Never, I repeat, Never plug your computer into the same outlet as you walkman. (Can you beleive it, my Amiga even had the audacity do GURU on me after that!!) Anyway, I'm all better now.. and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a copy of the clist.library It didn't come on the 1.2 disks, but it is mentioned in the 1.2 Autodocs. Thanks in advance Grant "The Fro" Haidinayk

So there I am with Oh - rule of thumb here - don't ever use commercial house cleaners on your computer equipment!!! For cleaning your monitor I would recommend the wet and dry pad systems from Texwipe or an equivalent. It is still possible that you could have built up a static charge when cleaning your monitor even with these, but at least you'll know what sort of chemicals you're actually applying to the surface of your equipment.

If you find yourself having a tendency to purchase or write MS-DOS software, or a propensity towards single-button mice or non-multi-tasking OS's, report to comp.sys.amiga immediately!
