[Cialug] OT: mp3 player shock warning

[David Champion]

<OT>
This warning may apply to anyone with an MP3 player with a metal 
chassis, like my Rio Carbon, or an iPod.

Do not set your player down on a stack of paper on your desk with your 
ear buds in, and remove your fleece jacket. You may shock your ears with 
static electricity. It's a little bit painful, and a lot scary, and 
causes your mp3 player make loud popping noises. I imagine you could do 
permanent damage to your mp3 player too.

It may have been worsened because the stack of paper was touching the 
plastic monitor stand base... and a 19" CRT can generate a lot of static 
too.
