Since all of us are concerned about static in the electronics shop and a few members are using electronics in a dusty environment (wood shop) where an explosion is possible, it would be useful to have a meter and/or red/yellow/green led to indicate how much static is building up. I assume everyone has a proper hygrometer in their shop so they can make sure it stays above 55%. In the woodshop maybe it should be connected to one of the pipes of the dust collector, in the electronics shop maybe it can be connected to the blue mat most if us have on the bench.

First computer 1959. Retired from my own computer company 2004.
Hardware - Expert in 1401, and 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's and MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.
