Actually, you really didn't have to, but doing so was fun, wasn't it? Keep
having fun. That's part of what the list is about, right?

Hi Charles,
I'd hold that wire with no gloves at all if the amperage were really
really really low! *snark*
Sorry, just had to!
Smiles,
Cara :)

Actually, I'm glad that such protective gear exists. It exists for a
reason. Use it as directed and you probably won't have a problem. I
would not stick my hand into a 500 degree oven when wearing mitts that
claim that they will protect your hand up to 500 degrees merely to see if
their claim is valid. Doing so is just! plain! stupid!! But knowing that
I can do so gives a bit of assurance, and I won't fear doing so. If you
were to wear a glove that claimed that it can protect you from a 100,000
volt charge of electricity, would you honestly, purposely, grab onto a
wire carrying 100,000 volts just to see if their claim is correct?? If
you do so, you just might get what you were stupid enough to ask for. But
as for cell phone cases, the better the protection, the better.

It doesn't help that things like the Lifeproof case for the IPhone
exist, either. That just encourages people to see how much abuse their
phones can take, just to see if the case actually lives up to its
name. I think the testing involved having phones being run over by
cars.
I wouldn't be surprised if similar gear now exists for laptops and
other electronics.

I'd like to testify to the fact that babying your hardware will not
necessarily make it last longer. As with any piece of computer
technology,
do a little research and you'll see plenty of stories from people who
have
had gear break almost instantly,
and just as many stories of people whose same equipment has lasted
decades
under heavy abuse. Just because you baby your gear doesn't mean it won't
up
and fail on you some random day; in fact, if you abuse your gear a bit
(like
major data centers do
with their hard drives) you'll find out early if you've got a solid
piece of
hardware or not. I'm not saying you should throw your laptop off a
building,
but at least if you end up crashing into something with it and
everything
fails, you'll find out
quickly that you got a lemon.
