made to go between parallel panels and PCBs is a different height, requiring
shimming washers or some other crap. Why couldn't they all have gotten
together and said "let's make 'em all 8 mm thick" or whatever? I hate the
electronic components industry with a seething passion. I can't think of
any other industry that abuses its customers so consistently and so
casually.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>
