Living in the UK I have a different method.  I have a "power" lead
that has no power connection.  Our electricity wiring is generally
3-wire, live, neutral and earth.  The lead I use when working has only
an earth wire.  Plug it in to the mains and the case is earthed at all
times, so I regularly touch the metal case in case of any build-up.
Since I don't get any feeling of shock, I assume that I never get to a
dangerous point of static :-)
