It's not uncommon to have Computer A get turned into a 20-pound
paperweight, Computer B to hiccup slightly and continue running with
subtle problems (more blue screens of death, etc.), and Computer C be
unaffected...

Computer C is a Mac!

Eons ago, my first job out of school was programming an 8085 based machine. It had a bad static problem. Turning 180
degrees and moving the chair 18" or so and touching touching the metal WS table would reset the machine.

I was showing a manufacturing engineer the problem and the video ram of the pc diagonally across from mine was affected. (now only if my personality...)

I guess the best story was the manager whose office adjoined
the ladies room. You'd hear a profanity when somebody started grabbing paper towels.

Grounding did not help. Chassis, table, electrical.

I started getting reimbursed for the cans of "Cling" or whatever the anti-static spray was at the time.
