John,

The list is "better" than that! The EU consultants list includes:

Be (bye-bye copper spring emi enclosures)

Sb (bye-bye one of the alternative fire retardants)

Se (an important dopant)

Rosin and petrolatum (bye-bye fluxes)

Glass fibers (so much for insulation for your house) 



Incredible.

And of course as usual the technology will be promoted haevily by those with

a vested interest in the price of tin……..Pass the link on to your friends on

Tuesday next week…………….8-)
