I started soldering SMD here at HP about 3 months ago. We have nice soldering stations, nice microscopes, the right solder...in other words, everything you need. And I still have a heck of a time making the little #%@$# things solder right! So take heart; you're not alone. > Tim Ressel -- Hardware DQ > Hewlett-Packard > Verifone Division > 916-630-2541 > tim_r1 at verifone.com >
