Thanks Gene.  I have never had instruction.  I have read and understand the 
static electricity issue, however, I have never been as careful as you 
suggested.  I always ground myself on the chassis, however, once that is 
done, I have not worried about static electricity.  Occasionally I touch the 
chassis just to make sure, but, just as a matter of habit.  Maybe I have 
caused a static problem, but I really don't think so.

I have seen technicians put assorted memory in plastic bags allowing them to 
be in contact with eachother.  I have also seen that memory function in 
another machine.  Certainly, I will be more careful now.  I am fortunate that 
I had my memory for the new computer checked as good after I had handled it 
in the manner I have described.  I hope you had a wonderful New Years Day.
