George, I always credited Jim Raby for the term "nothing solders like solder". Who stole it from who?

When you're doing solder assembly and get parts that won't solder and your management says "make them solder" and your customers say "I want good quality assembles NOW!" you tend to not beat arround the bush and use that kind of verbage.

Subject: Re: Shelve life for SMT/PTH components George, I ran out of gas days ago attempting to enliven the group. I was thankful as were many others. The technical term "suck" got me excited all over again. Thought I was only one capable of portraying the inability of something to function using such verbage. Not at all surprised this, but by you, MoonMan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8d To unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the BODY (NOT the subject field): SIGNOFF Technet To temporarily halt delivery of Technet send the following message: SET Technet NOMAIL Search previous postings at: www.ipc.org > On-Line Resources & Databases > E-mail Archives Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information, or contact Keach Sasamori at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.5315 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
