Bev, I never have considered people on this distinguished list "my personal entertainment". I'm sorry that you think that, and apologize sincerely if I have come across that way. As I said, it was the first time I have ever read that article, and I thought that it's very detailed and lucid about this whole lead-free thing. Call me naive (which I probably am), I just don't understand why our industry is being turned upside down like this...maybe I don't know how things work. I'm sorry I've wasted your time. Please forgive me.

I was kind of suprised that there was only one private response to my post about this...I guess we all are sheep. Let's all of us jump off the cliff, and say in the end; "We did what we were supposed to..." Then live with it all...

AM Mornin' Everyone! Yesterday I had one of our test technicians come to me and ask if I knew of any good reference articles about the pro's and cons of Lead-free solders. He's doing a assignment in his college class about manufacturing processes. I first went on my rant about how mis-guided this whole thing is, and then told him that I was sure I could find him some good references. I did a search and found one that I had never seen before, and after reading it, I think it's the best one I've read. Go to: http://www.cepelec.com/iso_album/leadfreehmiller.pdf It's 53-pages, and very, very good!
