Worrisome static zaps

[Larry Kollar]

Now that winter is setting in, I occasionally get static pokes off the 
iBook. Usually they don't seem to affect anything, but this morning the 
fan came on immediately after a zap, requiring a reboot to make stop. I 
expect the smooth plastic skin has something to do with it.

I use (liberally) anti-static spray around my work area, which stinks 
mightily but helps some -- are there any other tips? The wife doesn't 
like the smell, but I like even less the idea of my primary computer 
dying of shock....
