Steve,

The Gore material works well. As we've discussed before, and as I indicated
in Marks questions, this is, currently, a highly specialized part of the MLB
world. I know you must do what you need and have selected one or more
qualified suppliers with many more lurking in the wings. The big caustion,
as you already know, is those lurking having transitioned from more common
board types to hi-rel types.

Gore presents its lamination press cycles to get full "cure." This is a two
stage press cycle (A and B( and a critical cool down cycle. The cycles are
similar to other "hi-rel" MLB requirements as polyimide and GTEK. The
"ordinary" fab folks are very happy with a much simpler cycle going to full
pressure and temperature in one big move for about 90 minutes and POP, it's
out of there and enjoyed by all commercial folks.

As for the thin core/preg stuff, I outlined that in my response to Mark
below. No matter, we must continue pushing the envelope in all we do, so why
not here.

You live the good life Steve, according to:
