shocks from mice? (OT)

I am losing my mind, or are there other people who sometimes feel electrical hits in the hand from the computer's mouse. Please, folks, don't be kind and say you have felt this if you have not. Be honest. I need to know if it's time to call the guys in the white coats to come and take me away to the funny farm. I imagine it's possible for static to build up as you use the mouse, that would give you a mild shock. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy and Bagheera) Cats leave pawprints on your heart. http://community.webshots.com/user/clowderuk |

I have a very, very wierd imagination dave Well it was either cattle prods or hoardes of small rodents wearing dirty-old-man coats and all lining up to do a quick *flash* and that would certainly be shocking ;-) Cheers, helen s |

I haven't ever got a shock from my computer mouse, but I don't see that it couldn't be possible. It is attached to your computer, and your computer is plugged in to "the electricity." Electricity is funny stuff. All things are possible, bad and good, with "the electric" so my grandmother said.. smile Tweed |

Dunno about the guys in white coats, but you might have an electrician check your computer connections - it might not be STATIC electricity! -- NewsGuy.Com 30Gb $9.95 Carry Forward and On Demand Bandwidth |

Dunno about the guys in white coats, but you might have an electrician check your computer connections - it might not be STATIC electricity! I was thinking the same thing! If that house is in as bad shape as Pat posts (bad wiring?) there may be more things in there AFA electric that could do worse than give you "static shocks". But are you pretty immune to electric shocks anyway? You posted before about "testing" your electric fence charger by getting yourself a "pretty good bite" off of it....electrician friends have told me that unlike the rest of us, they gradually get used to and are not much bothered by 110V "shocks" while working. However, we never heard any more re the "bad wiring" of the house. |
