Even I, notorious tightwad that I am, have forked out on an
anti-static mat and wrist strap. I've never used one in the past. But
I figured that if I zap something on a K3 board, which is not user
repairable (at least, not by me) it would be a much bigger deal than
if I zapped a discrete component when building my K2.
