FYI. ________________________________ From: Fritz, Dennis D. Sent: Tue 4/19/2011 3:39 PM Subject: NPL tin whiskers webinar coming up. Bill, You may want to highlight this upcoming tin whiskers webinar for the members of the Wednesday Whiskers Call (see red bold below). I signed up. Bob Willis says the first 100 people to sign up will be allowed to call in. The price is just right - free.
