> SMD parts have a habit of disappearing into an alternate dimension with the slightest slip of the tools! And don't sneeze... :-) Actually, I prefer soldering with the larger SMDs to through hole. Except for the electrolytic capacitors. I don't like them at all. The biggest problem though with SMD is that so many of them don't have their value or identification on them. Even the ICs often have cryptic names on them. And non polarised caps... nothing. Best to put things in labelled bags and only keep one bag open at any one time. Tony www.oakleysound.com
