you're using electrical equipment barefoot?? that's not too smart...

If your floor isn't conductive, how is it different than wearing rubber soles? Also, odds are your equipment has a grounding plug.

Where I live it's exactly the opposite, and most sockets or electrical wiring have not proper grounding support.

Good thing I took out that aluminum flooring last week.

I think he is referring to static shock to equipment.
