lost confidence..not at all..rather even much more inspiring talk, Joe !
It's just so, that when all around me start howling, I need think a
little before I start howling too.
Have a nice and frustrated day!

Subject: Re: [TN] RoHS compliant laptop with early failure

Dear Inge, 
 
Thank you for your note and thoughts. I greatly appreciate your sharing
them as you are a balanced thinker whose opinions i greatly respect. (I
hope I have not lost completely your confidence in my abilities to do
so... ;-)  

My message was just a personal experience and I do not question that
there are "many trees still standing in the forest". I was simply
sharing an ironic event given my long standing opposition. 
 
I have owned and/or used more than a dozen laptops in the last 17  years
and this is the most expensive one and the most hyped (in terms of
reliability) among them. It is also first one among them to have failed
without apparent cause.  
 
I cannot predict the future but I can read and interpret  scientific
data and indications are that we are looking at a  very bumpy road
ahead. I listened to a talk by Dr. Fay Hua at a recent  SMTA event and
it was very sobering. 
 
The failure aside, my greatest frustration remains that the RoHS
products  we are now being forced to buy are not as environmentally
friendly as the earlier products. Moreover, if we are to recycle, (which
I am in accord with)  then the matter of lead in solder is moot. 
 
Best wishes,
Joe
