[PLUG] Hardware problem

[Richard Steffens]

One of my machines is set up under a leather topped, metal table. The
monitor is on a laminate over particle board table with metal legs set
at 90 deg to the metal table. The mouse pad is on the metal table. (See
ASCII art(?), below.) From time to time, I'll feel a static shock when I
walk into the room and touch the table, or even sit down on the
Steelcase chair that is on a plastic mat over the carpet. Some of those
times, my computer does a hard reset. Would grounding the tables and the
computer case help, be a good idea, or a bad idea?
