It must have been, George. 4 x 1.5 = 6, 3 x 1.5 = 4.5, or 4:3 = 6:4.5 = 8:6.

Ray.

Yes it was. Not sure what I was thinking here. Of course 645 is 4:3! It was definately a long day.

Thanks Ray.

Or you can build your own piezzo-electric anti-static ioniser gun

Definately an interesting tool. Let us know how it works... Thanks Norm.

One of my worries is about static from when I've been in the car. For some strange reason, here in SC, I get charged up with static. I have to touch something metal with my key in order to discharge as painlessly as is possible. In the garage at night, sometimes I see a bolt of lightning from my key, hitting the door, that's at least an inch long. I worry that with the static that the CCD might suffer.

We have that problem in MA in the winter. I've developed a habit of touching the back of my leg to the bottom of the door frame whenever I get out of the car b/c it hurts less. I have also fried my Ipaq a couple of times because of the static...I'm REALLY careful whenever I open up my computer!

I thought the car was what gave me static. I've been avoiding touching the car.

It's too humid here in Texas to get any of that static business.

I have the same problem with the dry winter air as jamison here in upstate NY. As long as I am holding onto the metal doorframe before I put my foot on the ground, I will not get a shock. If, on the other hand, I put my foot on the ground and then grab the door frame, I will get a shock.
