We have quite a few of the blue chairs, and I would like to keep a few folding chairs on hand for when meetings need more chairs.

I'll be at IXR early on Sunday, Wed, 15 May 2013 18:45:56 GMT Neil Cherry http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2874 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2874 ... Conductive foam in the 70's was very conductive (meant for CMOS chips). Later it was conductive to about 10K. I recall storing sone chips in Al. Foil.

What I was thinking, initially, is that the black foam that we use to stick microchips in - that is supposedly "conductive" foam, Wed, 15 May 2013 18:04:26 GMT Sergey Gleizer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2872 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2872 A comment was made Monday night about my lack of wisdom in powering up a circuit board while it is sitting on a silvery anti-static bag.

Sorry for my confusion regarding IXR's participation in the MARCH event, Evan provided information.

The power is clean. Just unplug things before Mon, 13 May 2013 21:09:22 GMT Evan Koblentz http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2868 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ixr_nj/message/2868 ...

MARCH will pay that after public museum hours during the event.
