In USN electrinics school (back when mem were men and CRTs were CRTs) they told us that probably the biggest danger from capacitance shocks probably was jerking back and ripping ones hand open on the circuitry. Still dangerous, and most unpleasant, but probably not fatal.
Don Erdmann, Vancouver, USA <<When someone can prove (quote me a news story, please) that a person has been killed by a TV tube, I'll believe it. Until then, I really wish people would stop perpetuating this myth. Yes, they'll hurt. A lot. But they won't kill you. the pickle>> ------------------------------------------- Introducing NetZero Long Distance Unlimited Long Distance only $29.95/ month!
