This is /always/ good advice; but today's parts are much more static-resistant than they once were... I've been building and re-building systems for about 5 years now (prior to that I only bought new pre-built systems), and I have never used an anti-static device, and never suffered loss for lack of one. Most people I know who do this for a living rarely, if ever, bother with one these days. Which isn't to say that you shouldn't; nor will I buy you a new system if yours blows up because you didn't. ;-) -- Derek D.
