Natural fibres if you wish, and a gimp chain, oops I mean a antistatic
strap with 1 MOhm impedance, earthed. I know a lot of those here don't
wear them, but I take the Better Safe Than Sorry approach. Isolating 1
bit of bad RAM is just a pain in the arse. Gloves, as stated above,
are a waste of time.

Don't forget the bow tie.

Cheers
Jon

I work barehanded with one arm resting on bare steel of case.

Power is OFF, with an AT case cable is left plugged into wall. With an ATX
case, power cable is removed from wall socket.

I avoid touching any conducting parts of motherboard or pc cards.
