Mice of the computer kind. Not animal kind.
In a matter of a couple of days, I've seemed to have zapped two mice accidently by walking on the carpet, not discharging the static electricity, then grabbing the mice.
In both cases I heard/felt the static discharge on the mouse and the computer shut off. One mouse I tossed. The other one acts flakey and I think is a goner too.
Is that a common occurance -- mice getting zapped by static? I've never had that happen before but it seems like I did that twice in a matter of a few days.
