- 4000 series CMOS is well-protected and requires few if any special
- handling precautions. If you are not drawing an arc when you touch
- these chips, you should be okay. For other types of CMOS, Radio Shack
- sells a handling kit consisting of a conductive foam pad and wrist
- strap with clip lead. I have found it to be quite sufficient in the
- dry desert climate of New Mexico.
