I posted this back in Oct, 2007, but since the topic has come up
again, well, here it is again.

Of note is that in NASA video #10, it indicates that tin whiskers were
found that were up to 1.8cm long (7/10th inch)...a long way from "a
few mils" recently cited.

Although the NASA site was already cited by W8UR, I thought "just in
 case" anyone didn't navigate around the NASA page, that I would post
 the NASA video link.

 Video #10 is amazing (and narrated).  There is even one video (#3)
 showing tin whiskers on a 1960 Grundig radio.  Amazing.
