Hy Glynn, Hoped to draw you out with that one. Just yanking PE's chain while giving praise for fine work. jpg's are fine with us all. Please send them to Ken Carlile as your people have been communicating very well with him. On other notes of importance, I/we are cleaning up our designs desparately needing. New designs are coming along as well. If you didn't know, ECC has several large Asian customers, and angels, designing and using product for satellite communications as this area of the world has no fiber optic land based cable. It appears one very bright spot in the telecommunications world. To this end, some or our designs are going into the 100,000 quanntities very soon. Therefore, I need an Asian connection for these customers. You still working with Star, the PCB fabricator, and do you have any Asian connections with assemblers. I have evaluated several assemblers, including xxx in China, but found them very lacking in their capability to product quality, high reliability assemblies. Thanks for the reply and hope you are doing well, Earl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL To receive ONE mailing per day of all the posts: send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet Digest Search the archives of previous posts at: http://listserv.ipc.org/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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
