This is very much on our doorstep. The Dept. of Trade and Industry
     over here, actively support the lead free ban for 2004, as per EU
     proposal. Better get hold of lots of indium, or get into bed with a
     supplier of a patented complex ternary alloy. Or conductive epoxy, or
     one of the numerous higher Melting Point alloys...............

Hello technetters....

All this talk about the removal of lead on circuit boards, does any of
this apply to the U.K. ??

And if its only in the states, then why do I see on Satelite TV that
they are still using it for roof flashings?
