Hi Ron.
>>>
I guess that eliminates every centrally air conditioned house and
apt south of, oh, Louisville, especially if there's carpet on the
floor...
Yes, carpet definitely adds to the problem. There are special carpets made
for static controlled rooms. Also, the type of shoes you wear is important.

Since strapping my wrists to a water pipe is impractical, what's
the best place to strap them to?
The case of the unit you are working on.

Also, what about anti-static pads?
Anti-static helps static buildup, but short-circuiting the static is a
better solution when possible.
