I've toured clean rooms (don't recall what class) at both IBM in
upstate New York and Storage Tek in Colorado and don't believe that I
could wear one for more than a few minutes at a time, if only because
it would interfere with my smoking habit (addiction, actually).
Plus, on a physiological level, I feel that I need mobility and
couldn't spend every day, day in and day out, in the same room.
I think the real question is how they go to the rest room with those
suits on. :)
