Damn Jason, now you're making me all mushy, or is that my morning pablum still digesting. Vapor phase still is the best. Think of our brain cells as we work together in perfect soldering harmony while we're carping about lead free. It is amazing, when there currently is no demand for any electronic device anymore, that we promote all kind of environmentally friendly crap. Hell, how much production is using any such type. I'll bet, within the last two years there is no pollution left but for SUV's Oh, sorry! Hell, with demise of all our fine CEO and semi presidential leaders (will any of them get jail time or end up like Milken - now a benevalent consultant still with billions tucked away). Tennis anyone? Not much worse than 100 mph SUV's and huge motor homes or whatever you call those suckers - sucking up all our fuel reserves and effecting irrecoverable pollution. I know of few using nitrogen anymore - kind of just quietly went away. Must be those solder paste folks - Chris? Damn, I do miss vapor phase but not SUV's. You know I'm kidding, right, Earl --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8e 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 or (re-start) delivery of Technet send e-mail to [log in to unmask]: SET Technet NOMAIL or (MAIL) 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
