Funny.

I was once doing some ESD testing on a commercial coffee machine - the
large sort they use in hotels and restaurants that can make 5L of
coffee as fast as a cup.  I was testing the "cup" mode ... ESD zap ...
it switches to "jug" mode while I'm holding my cup (why waste it?)
under the spout.... and the power switch is out of reach..... floor
covered in coffee, me sliding around the lab in a white lab coat, an
ESD gun, and ...

=:o



I get twitchy around coffee machines nowadays.  I much prefer tea.

Cheers,
Neil
