RE: Asteroids with no video

I know Peter said you don't need to discharge the monitor, but everyone else
I talk to says to.

As Peter put it "you dont need to discharge monitors unless your clumsy or
stupid", add to that if you don't know what you are doing. I obviously
don't know what I am doing otherwise I would not have posted to this list.
So I am going to discharge it for my own safety.

Alright, making the discharge screwdriver resistor thing is neat, but I'd
rather have the right tool already made if it is affordable. I checked ebay
for HV probe and prices range from $10 to $500. So the question is what do
I need, what's the difference in price?

If it is one that is in the $10-$50 I would rather have the right tool than
make one. If for $10 I might as well, otherwise it's going to cost $3 for
10 100k resistors, wire, and aligator clip at radioshack. If I made my own
I'd go the Bob Roberts route and grind the screwdriver so the wire had a
good place to clip onto, currently I don't have an extra screwdriver I'd do
that too so I'd have to buy it. So, if the $10 HV probe is all I need I
might as well go that route.
