Hi,

Fascinating topic!

I have a question sort of related, but of a general sphere.

There is some office furniture that's primarily metal frame
with glass surface.  Would that setup increase the possibility
of static build-up, or not affect things, or...?  Do you need a
special desktop mat or something?

It seems that with all the computer parts and peripherals we
all accumulate in our home offices, there'd be more electro-
whatevers in the air, which would somehow affect static.

When computer builders build computers, do they normally take
this into consideration when deciding on parts?  Does climate
(high desert/mountain) play into the picture?

Thanks,
Diane
