agreed and acid flux is the WORST thing to use on electrical
applications.

I use what works - and keeps on working for many years afterward.

Remind me *never* to even consider having you make any electrical repairs
for me.

For chrissakes, everyone *knows* not to use acid-core solder for wiring
connections. The fact that we're even talking about it here is totally
ridiculous.

But don't take my word for it:

They say "You should never use acid fluxes in electronic device soldering
and repair, as it will cause corrosion and even can short-circuit device
where gaps between tracks are small."

Sheesh.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".

I never said acid - that's you jumping to conclusions and getting it wrong.
