I'd hate to revive a dead topic, but I have a similar wrist grounding question. What's the most practicle way to ground oneself if a water facet is not close by. So far I've been attaching my wristbands to large metal objects (file cabinet, etc). I haven't noticed anything unusual, but I still have to wonder wheater this is effective. Also I've been working under the assumption that CMOS devices are safe once they are pluged into a breadboard. Was I correctly informed or should I whomp someone over the head?
