Bob,

I never had seen that, what a good interview!

Joe, you detailed the issues in a clear, concise manner. I hope that more 
people watch this. Great Job!

Steve

Good catches Steve.  I've seen that segment of Engineering Disasters. Wish 
they would update it as it was done in 2004 and as we know, RoHS didn't kick 
in until 2006.  Interesting that people keep forgetting that pure tin (matte 
or bright) will grow whiskers.

Another excellent article (with a link to a video interview of Joe Fjelstad 
by Dr. Howard Johnson is at this link

This is the article published in 2005 about the shutdown of the Millstone
