[QUOTE="bethraymond, post: 1329484, member: 224624"] your explanation of the "static field" is pretty accurate. if i just lightly run my fingertips back and forth along the front edge of my notebook, you can feel what you are describing. very weird, very much like a staticy balloon would feel like it. like those clear ball things that you'd find in a "science store" that you touch and the electricity inside visibly attracts to your fingertips. but...when i'm on my mac for an extended period, and my arms are "laying" on it, it does hurt. not like my arm is shocked and it flies off the keyboard involuntarily...more like right now, as i type, i can feel the "irritation" building on my arm (my right arm more than my left). several times now, i have to pull my hands away from the keyboard and rub my arm (looking to see that i don't have some kind of prickly heat type rash forming-there never is though), then i feel the need to repeatedly make a fist and then open and extend my fingers. like someone seeking relief would because of arthritis in their hands [/QUOTE]
