Hi all,
Most PC-users are not aware of the fact that the pc does not
uses power supply like other electronical stuff (TV, radio etc).
The PC don''t make use of "transforming" the net-power by
means of a transformator. In fact, pc is directly attached to the
NET !!!!!
Should whe not warning user of rs2332 "to ground the pc"
Most PC users use there PC in a room where there is no
grounding. In The netherlands grounding is only in the kitchen
or badroom. Grounding the PC and thus the EEG could help
at least to minimize the effects of accidents.

Question to Joerg,
In electronics whe used special tranformation 220v tot 220v,
(i don't know the englisch name for it) so as to protect the
technician when working in for example an TV.
could the same safety-set-up be used when working with an
PC ?.
Frans
