here's one for you guys. I had a pair of headphones plugged into the sound port on my GS and I was playing a real neat graphic arcade game. But as you know dust makes the screen look dull, so I tried to do a quick wipe of the screen with my hands, and then zap, I had a static discharge from my ears to my headset! If you think touching a doorknob is annoying, try getting hit in the ears! Anyone know if there are antistatic headphones? :) nagendra

So it does it from the headphone jack too huh. I have been zapped (several times) with my headphones plugged into my supersonic stero card. It's amazing how quickly habbits can change with something like this. I always fear more for the computer than myself, I heal easier. -- ____ Y_,_|[]| Eric Mulholland {|_|_|__| aj0@sage.cc.purdue.edu //oo--OO ...!pur-ee!sage.cc!aj0
