    do you always use anti-static equipment when working on your machine(s)? do you use just a wrist strap or the whole mat kit? or do you not use anything at all? Have you ever flucked something up because of it?

    (just had to order a full kit, can't get away with just the strap anymore )

    Apparently it's not allowed by professional standards, it ensures yourself against unnecessary damage ect

    would I have to use an a/s kit or would touching the car door work?

    I don't use anything. Never had any problems.

    Which is a bit silly really as I have all these out of date condoms lying around...

    Unless I give them to Chavs who will inevitably put them over their heads and thus get gangrene of the head.
