My pet peeve is: insufficient team members to generate a complete documented package at release time team members that don't do their job engineers that don't review the work, (but say they did). tools that suck, and haven't kept up with technology (see tormentor graphics). workload that is unevenly balanced with the heaviest workload during my scheduled vacation time. data sheets with incomplete information (missing dimensions, pin numbering, view) incorrect recommended footprints that don't match the electronic models. we need a global library, that every member company could use. o man, i could go on for days.... but i gotta work on this windows PC that keeps crashing... don't get me started. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DesignerCouncil 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 DesignerCouncil.
