Dry air (Score:2)

by djberg96 (2603) on 2002.12.03 10:25 (#15145) Journal

One of the few drawbacks to moving to the Denver area has been the dry air. I have lots of static in my apartment as well and regularly get shocked. Hell, even the *water* has shocked me coming out of the faucet.
I'm actually considering buying a humidifier to help with this issue after reading your story. I worry about shocking my laptop or desktop to death. I've noticed a bit of flicker in my computer now that I didn't used to see, so that has me wondering. I figure it will help the life of all of my electronic components.
