yup, ya got me there Lou. Guess that's the reason I couldn't understand
most of the formulas in the magazine.

Maybe a comment by Phil Zarrow will help (Circuits Assembly, Sept 2004)
page 6:
"I am far from convinced that the Pb-free movement is anything in the way
of environmentally advantageous. Sadly, though, it is becoming a fact for
anyone who sells products in the EU. The bottom line is that no one behind
it seems to give a you-know-what that it is likely to be worst for the
environment.
 My remark about 'being better for it' was a bit facetious; pain and
suffering sometimes build character. But, as I said, I cannot see where
we all will be better off with this so-called environmentally correct
direction.
 Beyond the legislative and political aspects, Pb-free has become quite a
medicine show. As you likely noticed in my June column ["The truth Shall
Make You Lead Free" p.14], I have a particular problem with those who lie
about processes and properties in order to promote their patented
solutions. So the circus goes on"

Maybe we have it wrong here in the US. Please post some articles of
science that dispute Phil's claims. I'm open...  :)

Good day.
