Well, its been 8 days since I started soldering.

7920 LEDs done, 9900 LEDs to go

I'll post some pictures in the morning. Now I'm off to
comp.arch.fpga for advice on this application.

I felt it was a mile stone if anything. If all goes well on Sunday
I'll have another 2970 down which will push me past the half way mark.
Then I'll feel better. Right now this thing is taking a long time. My
average is about 4 hours for each board of 990.

I bought brand new spools of solder in the beginning and I'm keeping
ALL of the cut off legs. Should make for some interesting statistics!
