Sorry this didn't make it through earlier ... let's try again.

-----
Below is a list of all vendors that were recommended by people from
[email protected], sci.engr.micromachining , sci.engr.manufacturing , and
sci.engr.semiconductors .  Many thanks to all who responded.

If a contact is listed, and I do not state otherwise, then I have called to
verify the contact.  I have no more information for each of these companies.

I hope you find the list to be useful.
