Hi UK-BobW, IPC LF Listservers, Bob, I agree with everything you wrote, yet have a question.. According to what I understand from the SMART/Dolby/DTI meeting that you graciously shared with all of us, and the Directives, the results coming out on the date you noted (Feb/Mar2005) will do little to nothing to change anything for the first implementation of LeadFree. I think it was the 30th or 31Oct2004 for a last scientific input as the EU went forward. NOW, I could be wrong, or misguided. {{Hey I have been there}} Yet how does the feedback from a result in Feb/Mar 2005 make a change, if a change is necessary. BTW, If our LF Listserve friend Tin's Kay, or DTI-Nick or many others want to answer it is great!!
