Been there, done that.  I have immunity because I testified against SithMaster when they went after him for PCB malpractice.

Maybe it was the tiny lightning storm from all the static electricity in that wrapping paper?   :)

When it comes to bubblewrap, opinions are varied. Some people say that bubblewrap is fine. Others swear by antistatic bags, while most say aluminum foil works well as a static shield. using aluminum foil kind of freaked me out, so I just went with bubble wrap - not to mention the foil would just rip around all of the sharp points on a board anyways. If I was sending a $200 board, then yeah I would have went the extra mile and got a bag. Being this was a $20 board, secured bubble wrap was more than adequate. The risk of static ruining the board was minimal. I've received TONS of electronic goodies wrapped in bubble wrap and guess what? They all work just fine.

The only packing material that is a definite no-no is popcorn styrofoam. That crap is bad for the environment anyways. ;D

ChadTower:

It was a joke. 

Maybe this is a better joke.

What's with all the comics lately?

ChadTower:

I've been reading through the whole Penny Arcade archive.  Brilliance.  Someone needs to make a Penny ArcadeCade cab.
