I don¹t know why I haven¹t noticed this previously, I¹ve had my

glitter on
her shoulder, so I went to brush it off with my finger, but when I
touched
her skin it felt really weird.
Cut a long story short, I figured out that the weirdness stopped
when I
wasn't holding or touching the Powerbook. But when I was, and when
I touched
my daughter's skin, it seems like tiny vibrations are what is
giving the
weird sensation. My daughter says it tickles.
I imagine this has something to do with why occasionally I get a small
electric shock or static sensation on the inside part of my lower
arm when
it rests on the Powerbook.
I guess it must be electricity running through my body. For all you
electrical engineers come health experts, is this some kind of a
health
risk? I spend a large part of most days with this thing on my lap.
Cheers, Steven
Steven ,
You do not say whether you have the Power book connected to the mains
when this occurs .
If so , try it with mains unit disconnected ( That is UNPLUGGED )
