    Hmm,i've built dozens of PC's.

    My expirience tells me that hardware isn't all that weak.
    Anti-Static glove's is overkill if you tell me, of course it can't do
    any harm can it?

    Unplugging is of course A MUST.

    Putting hardware temp. in a anti-static bag is overkill as well if
    you ask me, my bed suffices just fine.

    Having patience in adding new hardware is A MUST, you really
    can't just yank a new card in your pc, dust-free hardware is also
    appriciated.

    I might be tottaly wrong on this so don't believe a single word i
    say, but for me it has NEVER EVER wen't wrong.

    Isn't it common in the linux world to have a large uptime?

    I've heard of linux guys unwilling to lose their uptime; they changed sound cards while the computer was running..

    It apparently doesn't allow 9 billion votes.

    howdy,
    i look at it like this, 100 years ago when memory chips were dip and 4.77mhz was cool, a guy told me,
    "dont touch the ..........ing pins" a little later when i was installing a modem a gal told my "dont touch the ..........ing pins"
    so for the last 20 years i just keep my fingers off of the ..........ing pins and have had good luck.

    M.R.

    at my work we have anti-static pads on the floor, so we dont have to wear wrist bands.

    and im probably pretty dangerous around computers, but i havent blown out a part yet. maybe im just lucky.

    At my work we have anti-static pads on the floor and on the lab-tables. We also wear wrist bands and anti-static bags to transport hardware. But still sometimes we have damaged hardware, probably because someone tries to work on the boards without the wrist bands and then the chip gets damaged.
