What are the likely symptoms (besides getting "zapped") when the
relative humidity in your server room is too low?  I seem to have
insufficient google-foo to be able find any good articles on this
(lots of articles on plants and critters though).

In particular, I'm having some tape drive issues, and I'm wondering if
the fact that the drive specs say a minimum of 20%RH and right now I
have 8%RH has anything to do with it?
