Not to pick nits (ok, maybe picking nits a little bit, but with the best
of intentions)...
Does working with 12vdc and 5vdc really present one with the risk of
death? I've yet to meet a computer power supply that doesn't blow a
fuse before presenting much more voltage than that on any of it's lines.
12 volts to the fingers isn't a nice feeling by any means, but it's
merely a nuisance voltage. I can't help but think that using a hair
dryer or curling iron in the bathroom is a higher risk proposition.
Am I missing something?
