When I moved my 500 into a new, carpeted room, I found a can of anti-static
spray and wetted down the surrounding carpet and my chair.  I haven't noticed
any static in the room (or in the rest of the house for that matter -- it's
been a fairly humid winter in north Georgia).

If you can't get the regular anti-static spray, mix 1/2 cup of fabric softener
with a gallon of water (make a half or quarter recipe if you don't have lots
of friends or carpet), put some in a spray bottle, & use that.  (Fabric
softeners usually have chemical to eliminate "static cling" -- it also cuts
down on the finger zaps.)  I wouldn't recommend spraying the computer
directly. :-)

It wouldn't hurt to take other, previously-mentioned, precautions as well.
(And don't blame me if this doesn't work -- I'm not making money off it....)
My wife used it in the office where she used to work, and never had any
static-related computer problems.
