Hi Mark!

     Yeah, 'bout your plant shutting down over the holidays, same here too. We
were SUPPOSED to be shut down too, but a customer brought this kit of
transceivers over along with another job that they just HAD TO HAVE back
before the first of the year... you know how that goes. I guess there's one
thing good about working now, don't have to deal with the gridlock we have
here in "Silicon Valley" going to and from work 'cause everybody else is
off...just gotta' be able to see through the fog (it's literally been as thick
as pea soup out here the last few days)

    Where were we? Oh LED's...the ones I'm dealing with are PTH, little radial
square buggers, about .250" square. They go on a .040" stand-off too. I'm
using the same kind of parameters that I wave most of my boards with, you
know, nothing unusual. This board does have surface mount on the bottom so I'm
using a chip-wave too. I've waved other boards with PTH LED's before and not
had as many dead ones as I'm getting now...
