I consider it deadly. I would never have a metal electronics work desktop. It not only is dangerous to the worker, it is dangerous to equipment. We work on carpet squares that we spray with anti-static spray. It nicer on cabinets, stuff doesn't slide around, safe for the worker, and clip leads don't short to bench and melt. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
