Static Electricity

[shugga]

So, as I lie on my bed and move around, I build up static electricity which is released as a static shock when I touch my computer.
...this is bad for my computer, right? Should I make an effort not to do that?
Thank you in advance.

OUCH !! Static discharge can kill ram, eprom and other onboard chips.

Attempt to avoid it by

• touching a bedside lamp base (metal) before touching the laptop
• get out of bed, walk to the door and touch the door handle

Find a means to discharge your body before touching the laptop
