boards a few
years ago. They were wrapped in Tin Foil!!! I mentioned this
on the list at the time, and IIRC, the consensous was this was safe.
However, it's not something I'll ever do.
Hmmm.... do you know what a "Faraday Cage" is? You can't go safer
than that. Out of
curiousity, how safe is dry newspaper?
Pretty bad. It is thin, a (relatively) good insulator
depending on humidity and purity... which means that rubbing
on the outside might be enough for triggering a small discharge inside
that will blast that sub microns-wide oxydized silicon insulator at
one of the gates of your precious chip...
