I've heard that the brains (aka morons) from the EU council decided to take the tin-lead solder from the market, and that it is predicted to be completely out in 2012. Is this true?
I mean, with lead free solder and with dip components being replaced by those tiny smd components which are impossible to work, how do they expect this hobby to continue?
I saw jobs made by professionals with lead-free solder and it seemed that they were made by amateurs. And believe me, these guys solder very well, since I saw previous works from them in which tin-lead solder was used and they are from the best quality.
Is seems that the golden age of electronics was gone...defenitely.
