It's winter...and the air is dry...and static electricity fills the air. I discharge myself regularly - but I don't walk around with an ESD strap attached at home - but maybe I need to. Anyway - I had just started downloading Microsoft Office 2011 (all 900MB) for my new MBP and I touched the trackpad..and zap. The screen went haywire and the computer rebooted.
Did not like seeing that. Seems to be back up and running with no ill effects - but you'd think that given the nature of ESD that the track pad would be relatively immune to this phenomena.
