Hi.

Although I would not probably ever do this in reality at all due to
the danger, I'd be curious as to know what would happen if one opened
up a computer power supply unit. I've heard that one can get in
trouble with the law doing this (unless one has the proper
qualifications?). Is that right, and does this mean that even if I
didn't get zapped, and did this enough times (say 10 counts of illegal
opening of a power supply unit), I could spend the rest of my life in
prison (maximum security prisons, too???)? And furthermore, would just
1 count have _lifelong_ consequences, even if I made it through the
jail term? Are these worse or better than getting electrocuted?

Just curiosity questions: I wasn't really planning on doing something
dumb.
