Bill, I think this makes you the official Dr. Seuss of the PCB industry :) Ted -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Brooks,Bill Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 10:40 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] EU Lead hysteria Hmmm... What will they use for Bullets? How about Un-Leaded Stained Glass windows? For those with heavy hearts and dreams of putting the lead back in their leadless leaderless lead-free world... If the EU leaders leading the world lead us to un-leaded lead-free soldering we will be needlessly lead to leadless soldering from unleaded leads to green pastures of lead-free tin whiskers and unleaded solders to boards without lead and leads unsoldered to boards following hoards of un-lead followers down the yellow brick road we flush down the chemically compliant commode... can there possibly be a leader who leads those lead by the lead-free back to the successful days of tin/lead solder joints and boards without tin whiskers that lead to unleaded soldering failures and lead us to sanity where we can put the lead back into the lead-free solder where it truly belongs... someone please close Pandora's lead lined box. The lead free Genie has escaped the bottle... Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer, C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
