MOTM

I search of the archive yielded zero results for the word "static". 
Back in the day, anti-static measures were always a high priority at
work.  What does the MOTM building community do about this?

As a general rule, the static issues of the past are gone *with modern parts*. 
The only 'family' still in production that you really have to be careful around 
is 4000 series CMOS. The main thing is when you move across carpet (like walking 
up to and sitting down to solder), you should always touch something metal (in 
my case, it's the lighted magnifier lamp on the workbench).
