Watch out.

I've been unloaded on my a Mac Plus and a Tron video game before. I
was taking standard precautions, one hand in pocket, belt line,
whatever, etc., and still had a discussion with said CRT because it
felt I was invading it's turf.

The Tron game was in an arcade during business hours, the screen was
wrapping and the MCP cone phase of the game was very annoying to play
with part of the top wrapping around to the bottom. Very distracting.
It was a very very dry day and I was on the other side of the chassis
from the flyback wire and still got used as a bleed path. The area
near the cup was "leaky".

The Mac Plus jumped at me as I reached past the power supply while I
was setting up to discharge it. The Mac Plus packed a ton more punch
than the Wells Gardner monitor in the Tron game, and the game was on
and running. So the picture could be adjusted in a mirror (which
happened to be a Dragon's Lair laserdisc leaning on the
windowsill. .. )
