<DIV><FONT face=Arial>There was a similar piece on the local NPR affiliates news
about a month ago. The cleaning compound in question was one that is
not regulated as a harmful substance by the EPA. (Boy I feel better now) However
the semiconductor industry, as a whole, has been looking for a substitute that
is more environmentally friendly without increasing costs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Whether it's a proactive attempt to green up the
manufacturing process or heading off a federal mandate to replace it I don't
know. Either way, manufacturers everywhere seem to be anticipating tougher
environmental laws over the next 4 years and are beginning to squirm.

<DIV><FONT face="Century Schoolbook">there was an article in Sunday's Dallas
Morning News about "solar panels causing greenhouse gases" due to nsf3
(nfs?) used in cleaning contacts during manufacturing. Paper already on
way to recycle bin, can't bring it up on their website. Can anyone enlighten
me so as to have bullets to shoot down this latest round of uninformed
reporting?</FONT></DIV>
