What's more susceptible to static?
« on: August 18, 2004, 04:06:37 PM »
I have to pack up a load of my stuff as I'm moving, and a fair bit of it is just lying around. The things is, a lot of it is Amiga hardware outside of systems, and I don't have enough antistatic packaging for it all. Anything I should really prioritise? Can anyone advise how much static really is a problem? I always handle everything with care and have never had a problem.
I like Amigas

You could just touch a  metal lamp/heater (plugged in ) or a central heating system to discharge the static... better still connect a piece of wire around your waste and tie it to said object..

errrr...

I , on the other hand,  would not bother and  just pile everything together into a  big box;
no precautions and I've never zapped anything...


Pile everything together in a big box....hmm, you mean like   this ? ;-) :-P

but then again i don't live in a house with deep shag-pile carpets  that transform me into a mutant miss magneto


I don't have carpets at all in my house, thankfully. A giant hotel for dustmites is all carpets are.

However, carpets do sometimes have their advantages... ;-)

@x56h34

yeah I should do - the only thing is that a lot of electronics suppliers won't sell you less than a hundred, and then that has to be in one particular size...

edit: I can actually remember your nick correctly now! I've been meaning to ask, what's the significance? It it some kind of coordinates?
