We had the same sort of issues in a computer room that "some"
*brilliant* Management type would look "NICE" carpeted.
It indeed DID *look* nice with the plush carpet. BUT - RS-232 ports are
VERY sensitive to static electricity.
We overcame it with liquid fabric softener mixed equal part with water -
sprayed the carpet about once a week.
