Then you *would* be asking for trouble. IMHO, if anti static measures
are not observed, then it doesn't mean the computer will not function
but more likely a weakness to the chips occurs and then a failure
further on down the track.
Of course nobody would be messing round in the computer without an anti
static wrist strap on, would they?

That is what I'm referring to, apparently compressed air is recommended
instead.
