Hi all!
Oh well I'm not quite sure is this the right place to ask this question but I was just wondering does anyone know about any case where static electricity would have broke some hardware while one has been working inside the box? Never happenede to me atleast. I've know about static electricity like forever but I just got little more curious about it and went through a lot of tutorials that told you to be very carefull so that you don't break any delegate hardware while toutching them and stuff.
So... I checked one local store for anti-static electricity wrist band and found this (http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Product_Id=107834). It cost 7,1€ (little less than 10$??) so I thought "Hey, what the hell! I need to go get some other stuff from this store so while I'm at it I could pick that wrist band too."
But I guess what I'm saying is that is this whole static electricity thing just a way to rip off some pocket money from people like me or what?
