On the flip side, my intention is to become somewhat knowledgeable about this 
for my discussions w/CEMs.  Additionally, I do make some products here in 
one-off quantities.  I expect that when the compliance date rolls around, 
lead-based components and solder would not be available, except for repair 
purposes/etc.  The question at that time will be -- what does one choose for 
solder, etc?  Right now I'm just trying to get a headstart on that, although 
for many others, it's already late in the game I bet.

Cheers,
-Neil.
