Aren't Crocs made of full plastic? Imagine the zapping that could be done with those... I bet it'd look something like the Emperor in the last duel scene in Return of the Jedi (Ep 6). 8-} _____ From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Berny Stapleton Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2008 4:20 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Extremely Off-topic: Antistatic sandals for indoor use They remind me of crocs....

If you recall Office Space and the door-handle, you get the picture. While my old Birkenstock-sandals have seen the best of days, I thought I'd give Birkenstock' Alpro ESD-sandals a go. Got them a week or so ago, and since I started wearing them, I've been completely unzappable! The sandals actually work! Thought I might share this with you guys. FWIW, the ESD-bracelets I have only work while chained to the tech-corner (aka computer graveyard and place for tinkering) and are kinda' hindering. The ESD-mat I have on the tech-table in the tech-corner is better, but it's only *there*, in that particular place. The sandals however are always with me whether I go to the server rooms or skulk in my office. Essentially the Birkenstock Alpro ESD-sandals work great and are well worth the price of approx 800SEK.
