Space Station Computer Glitch

I see where the computer on the International Space Station is on the fritz, and needs some replacement parts.

One report says that the problem was caused by a static discharge when plugging in one of the power connectors.

So I wondered if the astronaut forgot to connect his anti-static wristband. And also wondered if the computer repair tech will get his 35/cents per mile for that service call.

A bit of info about the computer used up there is on NBC News' Cosmic Log (http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/06/14/226502.aspx).

I probably should take my medication now.
