Thanks. I wondered if that might be the rationale. I have always tried
to make sure I was grounded and discharged any static electricity
before touching the components.

I did have one question after reading the Apple manual. It
stated "Unplug all cables, except the power cord." Why wouldn't you
unplug the power cord?
To maintain a ground circuit to the power supply. Before you touch any
chips, touch the cage of the power supply or bare metal of the chassis
to ground yourself and drain off any static charge.
