"To reduce the accumulation of static electricity, you must increase the
humidity,
change or get rid of the carpeting, or both. Although a small room-sized
humidifier
may help, these steps are often too expensive to be practical. A less expensive
(and
correspondingly less effective) step is to avoid wearing leather-soled shoes or
clothes
made of synthetic fibers. (If possible, compute in the nude.) Weather or not
you take
any of these steps, you should still touch metal to dissipate the static charge
before
you touch the computer or a disk."
- From the book "Supercharging MS-Dos"
by Microsoft Press, 3rd Ed., pg. 393, under the section "Static Electricity Is
A Killer"
