A great way to carry a portable computer to and from work, between classes or on any short trip. Note Grip's super strong, thin blade slides down over the open lid and remains in that position even when you are using the computer. May not be compatible with all IBM ThinkPad models. Static Shocks can cause lots of problems.
Heating systems dry the air as they heat it.
When air drys out, static electricity builds up and damages electronic equipment that gets hit by shocks. Since phones and PCs are constantly touched by users, they're the items most likely to be effected. You actually build up a static charge by moving around, even moving your feet slightly under the desk. If it's just a little charge, like less than 1000 volts, you won't see or feel it. The electricity in your body builds-up, with no way to get to ground until you touch something.
