[ale] OT: 2 Monitors

[James P. Kinney III]

Grounding won't help for a metal shield between them. That will only
absorb electric fields. You need a special type of metal called "mu"
metal. It has the unique ability to absorb magnetic fields. A single
layer 1/32" thick is adequate for negating the 0.5 gauss magnetic field
from the earth.
