	Well, I never used that resistor programmer. I built a programmer 
using a 74HC244 buffering the parallel port. And it has a separated GND 
wire to avoid static. First connect the GND, then the programmer.
	I also built a parallel programmer (HV) when I worked with ATTiny11. 
It is connected to the PC parallel port too.
	Just two or three chips died for no reasons when prototyping in the 
last decade.
