[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 74613, member: 126"] Re: Static Electricity Problem with Digital Snake A digitally controlled product interpreting a static hit as a rouge input is pretty low on the list of worst case scenarios. Those of us old enough to recall the early days of digital microprocessors recall them dropping completely dead, and this was back when they cost $25 instead of $2.50. Many a slick expensive hifi product was totaled by simple static discharges. Even with linear ICs surviving a static hit does not mean they didn't receive some subtle damage and may fail or degrade further in the future. Factory workers are routinely required to wear static ground straps to not damage the work they touch. JR [/QUOTE]
