I'm looking for carpeting for the area outside of a machine room that
won't cause the "shuffle your feet and shock yourself" phenomenon. I
noticed most datacenters I've seen are carpeted up to the entrance without
any ESD problems. Is there special "anti-ESD" carpet? Where might I find
it?
Yes. Searching AltaVista for "anti-static carpet" (without the quotes)
will produce results of which the following is in the first ten matches:

I once recommended anti-static carpet for a machine room, and I was
very happy with the way it turned out. I might be able to dig up the
name of the supplier if you contact me off-line.
