Beware, a short stroll on your Dacron® carpet can load the surface of your skin and clothes with enough spare electrons to cook that RAM you just took out of its special little pink or silver bag. Recipes for Abbacchio Al Forno aside, cooking your RAM is something to avoid. If you are new to electronics tinkering you may not have heard of electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures, but as a rule of thumb the smaller the components inside your device get the more sensitive they are to those crackles and pops you hear on a dry day when you pet the cat.
