Hi
 When at Intel, we had to shield our Series II machine for a different
reason. The early ones would reset when zapped by someone walking
across the carpet and touching the key board. Energy can go in various
directions. It could have been for security but was just as likely
to keep from interfering with the various measurement equipment.
