I like lead and have stockpiled enough lead-bearing solder to last
the rest of my days on this vale of tears. I'll keep using it until

Given the level of electronics recycling today and the reclaimability
of tin-lead solder, I think the RoHS measure was far too premature.
Even worse, the US appears to be signing onto the program...
