RE: Negative Ions?????????

Actually Stu the comment was a forlorn attempt a humor. I've never gotten "into" the negative ion thing. Don't even know how to tell 'em from the positive variety. I suppose that using the Zerostat you get one flavor on the squeeze and the other during the release.

Not sure what you're referring to as the Zerostat approach. I got mine years ago to help get the dust off of records when the polonium strip in my dust brush had gone through too many half-lives. I wanted something that wouldn't wear out, and it hasn't. It did fall apart once but I MEK'd it back together. I also use it for preliminary ESD testing of PCB's. While not exactly a Schaffner, it does provide some insights and is much easier on the wrist. Do you zap CD's? I've not tried it but I bet it could help. It's hard to see how a whirling polycarbonate disk could fail to develop some interesting charge patterns. Sort of a circular Wimhurst machine.

You know, I think I will try it. Sounds like fun. However I actually rarely use the ol' CD player anymore. The computer has turned out to be a largely satisfactory source, and so very handy...
