Consumer electronics such a Dell PCs and Laptops will never ever ever
see the environments military hardware will see. 

And why can't Swatch get the Pb-free watches to work?

Lester,

You have raised an important point about LF. Recently Dell reliability
engineer presented a paper on LF experience with Dell products. They
have > 30 million pieces of LF hardware out in the field. The product is
working equal to or better than SnPb soldered product. His conclusion
was that extra vigilance, inspection, assembly process improvements,
material improvements, reliability testing etc. have resulted in better
product.



Many Japanese companies have consumer electronic product being produced
with LF technology for sometime (3-5 yrs). Are there any field problems
or additional reliability issues mentioned at any of the conferences?
NO. So why are we as engineering community (at least some of us) so
agitated about LF?
