What!! No pre-ship burn-in!!!??? With CMOS and Surface mount, if the component is going to fail, it is usually in the first 100 hours. A VERY large percentage of failures can be caught by a 100 hour burn-in. And it is cheaper to junk boards caught at that stage (factored into price of course) than to RMA and swap those that WILL fail in the first 100 hours. wmc – via Autopilot!
