Technos,

since everybody is happy and has time to check spelling, I'm going to ask
your oppinion on something totally non-technical.

Many of you have more years in this industry than my age, so you saw it
grow. How do you see the future of SMT? Will it continue to be a booming
business, or, five years from now the assemblies will be one ASIC placed on
a 1"x1" board and that's it, no more discrete components, no more wave
soldering, no rework, etc.

Shall I return to good old lathes and milling machines, or I'll be able to
feed my children out of electronic manufacturing, many years from now?

Actually my company is in shut down for two weeks and that's why I waste my
time with stupid questions (sorry, but any oppinion is welcomed).

Thanks,  Ioan
