One of our buyers passed on an article from the January 2, 1996 issue of 
Electronic Buyers' News purporting a projected shortage of fiberglass 
laminate.  I would like to solicit comments on this subject.

1.  Can the readership confirm or deny the veracity of this rumor?

2.  What is the nearest non-fiberglass replacement for FR-4 material, 
and what are the associated availability, performance and cost deltas 
between FR-4 and this nearest replacement?

regards,

Gary Koven, PCB Designer
