- Steve Jobs was honest and gave Xerox many Apple Shares, but Evil Bill Gates stole all, Gates pretended Apple stole from Xerox so he could steal it too, but that was not true. Bill Gates is evil, we must admire Steve Job's honesty to Xerox.
- Using a screwdriver with a thick wire to discharge the CRT is a good idea IF the other end of the wire is actually grounded. In this case, it wasn't. The safest method, if you don't have the right equipment, is to take that little Mac outside, look for your house's ground wire (copper rod in the ground near the electrical box) and connect the other end of the wire to that ground rod instead of the Mac's chassis (which in this case would be a 'floating ground' that could still shock you good).
- Now you have a true GROUND (hence the term) at ground potential. The electricity in the CRT will race out of the screwdriver, down the wire into ground rod in the soil and into Earth. You'll be perfectly safe.
