Wow, its a small world. I also was EE dept though worked only with master and PHD candidates in the HIDEC(your son will know this)and other microelectronics fabrication facilities there, mostly as Lab Manager. Got my experience in this starting in the mid 70's at Silicon Valley. Its ironic that now I wonder about all of the chemicals that I worked with then that were slowly banned in USA that were known cancer causing chemicals. I can vividly remember all of us technicians then wondering if we should be breathing this or that of touching this or that without protection or more protection than we had. It was a new industry that we were the first to experience long term exposure to many materials, gases and chemicals. But, most of us knew the micro-chip labs we were supporting were going to change the world as we knew it, that excitement and being young made us seem bullet proof. And look at us now, being able to communicate important things like this instantly all because of the chip. But, HAHA at the end of the day it was probably the 40 years of smoking that was culprit for me on this. Funny how smokers always point in other directions...I have been smoke free mostly since March.
