Re: gEDA-user: SMD soldering challenge status

[John Griessen <john_g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi y'all,

To make the challenge to be functional more interesting, I have some analog 
muxes I bought a reel of on ebay I will contribute 100 of if DJ will handle the 
kitting of them along with his boards.  They may provide extra soldering 
challenge, since they were made in 2000, are on tape, and have NOT been stored 
in dessicant or anti tarnish environment since new.
