Hey JackMan ! ! ! WHAT IT REALLY MEANS IS ----- More RAM (Randomly Accessed Memories of the good ol' days) which is also required by everything in our field i.e. CAD software.,platforms It is a plot....... to put us old-timers that try to remembered everything....... into a saturation point . The request for a "TREE" can be detailed into major areas .....

What would really be helpful is a Cross-reference of current IPC spec that replaced each MIL spec and which ones have been boughten off by the government boys.
