This came about when one of our team (who still uses a CRT monitor) found that
a cheap ionizer dramatically reduced the static discharges he kept getting. He
quickly realised that ionization could be used to control both static
attraction and repulsion. Thinking there must be an enhanced IT equivalent he
hacked up some software ionization code. [...]
You're having us on aren't you Will? Surely everyone knows IoTs don't
actually
trap ions (the idea lol). The guns were aimed away from the phosphor and the
magnets pulled the electrons toward user, if you were lucky. Easy ten bob job
if you were. Focus magnets otoh... Thanks for the memories :)
