I thought that the problem was temperature swings in the computers (25-38C), but a couple of cheapo watches taped inside the...

I just ran several searches on google, from their "advanced" search page, and NONE of them gave me any useful links at all. The last search I ran was for exact phrase "the history of milk chocolate". I got 184 totally OFF-topic results, which included (my favorite) "used ultralight aircraft for...

I've done a very limited amount of searching of the Usenet archives to find recommendations for antistatic mats. One post stated that some cheaper antistatic mats quickly lose conductivity and become ineffective. What are the differences in materials or construction between high-quality and...
