Thank you Pete.
I was perplexed when nobody was speaking up on what seemed to be obvious.

Maybe it is the tail wagging the dog, but consumer electronics will continue to 
drive the industry.  And as long that is true the lowest cost volume process 
wins - even for lower volume products.

There will be some crossover, but I do tend to doubt that Dean's prediction will 
come true in 10 years.  There will (hopefuilly) be a lot fewer reflow ovens, but 
any lower cost option is going to require a major materials breakthrough pretty 
soon to take over the cell phone sized volumes in a scant 10 years.
