i havnt bothered with a wrist strap in years. i just use some copper wire to earth me to a radiator, which in turn is earthed too.
Granted i would not advise this as a common method as it forgoes the million ohm resistor, so if you get a real shock your screwed, but for anything other than the power supply in a pc case, nothing else is dangerous imho unless your stupid enough to start poking capacitors with a screwdriver =D

i like the heel straps, they take some getting used too because you can always feel it, shame there only good on certain floors.

of course best type of static protection is working in a charged room, but ive never had the pleasure...

wrist strap was firmly planted in the drawer next to my table slide on my desk ! not more than 12 inches away, so um ya i feel like a WE TOOD DID DOODE! having worked in a charged room for 5 yrs i never got in the habit of grounding myself *slaps head* "DOH!"

y'know... other than the office, I've never worn a wrist strap on my own projects. Of course, I don't have my stuff, or build it on the carpet. I sit in the kitchen on the leno with my bare feet. That way if I drop a screw or something, I can see it. And don't worry about the whole vinyl/wool thing... I'm severely allergic, so wool is right out. I do have anti static bags everywhere around me from the parts I pull out of the boxes, so that might be something there.

just remember that synthetics also cause static...so mind even just working in boxershorts with nylon in them. i believe plain old cotton is ok.

BID - love the strain ideas. Super Lemon Haze is really a winner IMO. I'm feeling very nice because of it at this very moment. Love the stuff. Chocolope is probably my favorite strain so far, but SLH is in my top 3 for sure. I'm going to do a Super Silver Haze and Amnesia at some point soon (Amnesia is a variation of Super Silver Haze). Maple Leaf Indica is an indica I'd like very much to grow at some point, too.

Strap, shmap. I like to live on the edge.

cotton and only cotton for me all the other as i call it "plastic" clothes make me bust out in a rash after an hour anywhere it was touching my skin, good thing i love cotton! never tried hemp, i will prolly ground myself before i install this time just to be safe, i will flip out if i have to wait another 2 weeks! got all the case fans and lights installed sitting here staring at the box and kick butt gear is torture!

All you had to do is touch the case and remember with AT boards. . . . Red to Red, you're dead.

building a pc now is like childs play compared to say the 90s remember trying to find drivers? going online was a last resort cuz it could mean pc death, that is if you had drivers for your nic card and could get the right hardware handshaking protocols didnt forget 75 different settings baud rates had to be set just right .i fell in love with win2k when it came out win me was the toy os that had to be reinstalled every 3 months,remember getting internet working on 95? or even better 3.1 lol took me a week on my first 3.1 machine and i remember being hot shit with my 36k modem that cost 75$!!

i only caught the tail end of 3.11
i turned 18 with win 95
i spent a lot more time playing around with dos than i did 3.11
iirc the best games were still dos and you would only load windows if you couldnt get the sound working in dos, lol.

I worked for CompuServe before the AOL merge.... INIT STRINGS WERE HELL!!! 28.8 baud was the greatest speed then for the home user.

"okay, pull up terminal services... Click Start/Accessories/System Tools/Terminal"

"Okay, is your computer on this line, or do you have a second line?"

"Second line? Great! Type this, A T Ampersand F and hit enter... It's Shift 7... The and sign... yeah, hold down shift and hit 7, now F, and hit enter. What does it say?"

"okay"

"GREAT! You have the correct modem drivers installed"

"Now type A T D T and hit enter. Hmmm.... no dial tone... Type AT&F again and hit enter."

"okay"

"What is the exact model of your modem, I need to get an initialization string for you. Yes, the box that plugs into the phone line."

"Oh, you have an internal? That narrows it down, and makes it easier to find out... Do this, go back to your terminal window...."


UGH!!

ROFL!

"Do you have a TV?"
"Yes."
"And you have to turn it on to watch it?"
"....Yes...?"
"Do you still have the box your computer came in?"
"Yes."
"And the receipt?"
"Yes."
"Is the place you bought it close?"
"Yes/No." ((I don't care, really))
"Do they have a warranty program?"
". . . . . . . . . yes?"
"Good, do us both a favor: Pack your computer back into the box, drive it to the store from which you bought it, and give it to the salesman that pushed this one on you. Tell him you'd like your money back because ((yelling through the phone, now))YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO KNOW YOU NEED TO TURN IT ON TO MAKE IT WORK!!"

Alternatively, remove the yelling bit, and instruct the person to tell the salesman, there's an ID 10 T error.
