The IIcx, IIci, and Q700 have an "always-on" power supply. There may be others. FWIW, I never discharge CRT. I always unplug Mac from mains when working on it. ESD damage to ICs may cause IC failure immediately, or minutes, or years after ESD occurred. Gamba <http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2> -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
