Yeah, I've heard rumors that some of the ROHS solder formulations were worse than others. In the mean time, I'm stocking up on 60/40 before they try to outlaw it all together. The team's got some pretty good kids with a soldering iron, but if we have to switch to ROHS, we'll have to change temperatures and techniques. Something to look forward to, I guess.
