AMEN, Peter ... And I think the point has already been made that BeO is not
much of a health threat (except to those machining it) if handled with just
half-way decent care.
It's not politically correct to say, but I wouldn't be surprised if, some
day in the future, we'll find out that Alar on apples prevents heart
disease and ghiardia, greasy burgers inhibit colorectal cancer and Asthma,
and man-made CO2 emissions saved the rain forests. (Two out of three
wouldn't be bad!)

Interesting report on Reuters, displayed on the Yahoo news pages yesterday.
A 31 year study of GE employees exposed to PCBs showed no excess cancers -
in fact, fewer than expected died of cancer.
Maybe PCB containing components don't have to be treated as if they
plutonium dust - just with reasonable care!
