> Wow is this RoHS stuff a scam or what.

One person's scam is another person's attempt to save the planet.

Ever taken your old computer hardware down to the recycling center, and seen
the vast sea of electronic waste it's joining? It's a sobering experience.
What, you don't recycle your old computers? Then you're making my point.

Unfortunately shifting to lead-free parts does make things difficult for
DIYers. I'm afraid, though, even as a DIYer since I was old enough to hold a
soldering iron (which was, uh... at least 30 years ago) that I have to agree
it's a necessary change.

If you think RoHS is inconvenient, wait a couple of decades and see what
gasoline rationing is like.
