Denny & Bill:
Well, I finally got to see this episode! My customer called my home after work
to tip us off that episode 19 was going to play again so we set the DVR and I
saw Mike for the first time.
I wish they would update it to include RoHS. Mike must know the producers at
Modern Marvels. Can we get him to contact them to bring them up to date? That
lead is now banned and so we will see many new engineering disasters?
Bob

I am sure everyone is aware of these pages from CALCE, of course I wasn't so I
thought I would post them here for others.
From CALCE:

Multiple presentations from 2nd International Symposium on Tin Whiskers:

Also, the episode Dennis is referring to is Engineering Disasters 19 Episode#
391, which aired March 22, 2006. It is available from History channel to
purchase and it should be available somewhere out there as a download.

Bob/All -
The tin whiskers video was taken at CALCE - University of Maryland. It is
interesting to see someone you know like Mike Osterman on national cable TV.
This is on the History Channel, and looks to me like it first aired in 2006
(unfortunately it is not that new). Here is a link to the notes on CALCE -

A customer just wrote me:
The TV was on when I was leaving the house at lunch today, and as I walked by,
I saw a picture of tin whiskers. Thanks to you imparting some of you infinite
wisdom upon me, I instantly recognized it! It was on Modern Marvels one of the
Engineering Disasters series. Maybe the word is getting out like it should. Did
you see this one? It was at the end so I didn't see much, I don't know if they
pointed any fingers at the greenie weenie wackos that caused much of this
problem.
Spread the word. The bad days are coming.
