Subject: [alt-beam] Re: HELP ME:static and photovores...
Eveyrthing from Digi-Key with a semi-conductor comes that way.
Don't worry about it. Just open them up and touch something
metal before touching the leads of the devices. I've never
taken extraordinary precautions handling things and have never
fried a part yet.
If you are going to be careful with anything, be careful
with the CMOS devices (74HCT???). You can roll out a piece
of aluminum foil on your work surface and dump out the parts
onto that if you wish to be a little more cautious. Maybe
avoid petting your cat, if you have one, while you are working
would also help .
Have Fun!
