And ofcourse you have to wear them with socks for that German tourist look. ;) Joanne Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 15:19:58 +0100From: berny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: [windows2000] Re: Extremely Off-topic: Antistatic sandals for indoor useThey remind me of crocs....

If you recall Office Space and thedoor-handle, you get the picture.While my old Birkenstock-sandals have seen the best of days, I thought I'dgive Birkenstock' Alpro ESD-sandals a go.Got them a week or so ago, and since I started wearing them, I've beencompletely unzappable! The sandals actually work! Thought I might share thiswith you guys. FWIW, the ESD-bracelets I have only work while chained to thetech-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 arealways 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 worththe price of approx 800SEK.HTH.--BW, Sorin-----------------------------------------------------------# Sorin Srbu [Systems Engineer, Sysadmin]# Dept of Medicinal Chemistry, Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 >3 signals> GSM# Div of Org Pharm Chem, Mobile: +46 (0)701-718023# Box 574, Uppsala University, Fax: +46 (0)18-4714482# SE-751 23 Uppsala, Sweden Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b# Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se-----------------------------------------------------------# () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail# /\## MotD follows:# Counting in octal is just like counting in decimal, if you don't use yourthumbs. -Tom Lehrer.-- Jim Kenzig Microsoft MVP - Terminal Serviceshttp://www.thinhelp.comCitrix Technology ProfessionalCEO The Kenzig Grouphttp://www.kenzig.comBlog: http://www.techblink.com _________________________________________________________________ Pack up or back up–use SkyDrive to transfer files or keep extra copies.
