HI Jim, and ALL others.

It is nice to see my old professor is keeping an eye
on me, and reading some of this stuff.

Yep, the ole decimal point moved on me, to the right.

And I agree that a full inch would be great for us who
have to replace BGAs for a living, rather than the
spaces we are sometimes forced to use.

Jim, thanks for catching the error, thanks for the
teaching, and I hope to see you at APEX

thanx

Bill
