Hello der' Everybody!

     Well, judging from the amount of email I've been getting from the TechNet
server, looks like there's only a few of us dedicated, hard-working people
who's forgoing the holiday spirit in order to support our nations electronic
needs... 'scuse me for a minute...(Geeze, did I lay that on thick or
what?...GRIN)

Actually, it's probably more like those of us that are still here, have slave
drivers for bosses...(glad mine doesn't read the TechNet! hehehe...)

Anyhoo, I'm building some little Ethernet 10Base Fiber Transceivers, and they
have a series of 5 LED's on them. Problem is, they're dying like flys through
the process. That's been our biggest failure at test...in fact, it's been
about the ONLY failure we've had. Seems I 'member someone saying something
about LED's being a part that doesn't do well through assembly, that it's just
the nature of LED's. Is that true? (I think it was Paul Klasek from
Resmed...Paul, was that you?) Is there anything that I can do differently that
might baby them a little more and help them survive? I didn't account for
having to change a good percentage of them in my labor quote...which is a
bummer, we're not making much on this deal.

Thanks in advance, all you work-a-holics!
