Similar here, working in electronics and video production. You get everything from components and soldering irons, to equipment that stopped working, and the occasional thing that needs half a dozen patch leads and your desk was the only space to put it on. But in general, a static cable on something that doesn't move while you're using it (e.g. keyboard), isn't too much of a problem. It is a big pain with things that you do move around while using them, like the mouse. Even without a cable, there's one big flaw with mice, you often have to move it far to do a very long scroll action, and it's all too easy to move up, bump into something on the desk, and it clicks the button for you. The old Amiga mice were a better design to avoid that, their buttons were only on the top, they didn't curve around to the front, as well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
