    That would explain why the NES didn't need a fuse, it only had "Power!" not "Super Power!" :p

    I highly recommend the use of powder-free nitrile gloves (small box of 50 for ~$8) when handling any type of electronic components. Gloves protect the components from you (oil, water, residues, static shock) and you from the components (shock, puncturing skin, chemical residues).

    Make sure the gloves fit snugly and aren't baggy or too tight. Do not use latex or cotton gloves.
