I attended. It was good to meet some folks face-to-face, but I have some problems with content. It was great for IC folks, too much for one person to see, but as I am not an IC person that meant little to me. Content was very thin for PCB, but since Cadence considers IC Packaging, Simulation, and Front-end as "PCB" they probably think it was good. Even the keynote presentation that was supposed to address front-to-back issues stopped at IC package design. The proceedings are all on-line, which means you can't just sit somewhere and read them unless you have an internet connection. I personally would prefer a CD, but that is probably not going to happen. Suggestion for next year: More real PCB content. There are still a lot of us out there, Cadence takes us for granted. -- George Patrick Tektronix. ________________________________ From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Dave Seymour Sent: Thu 12/8/2005 6:49 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] User's Group Meeting Did anyone attend the User's Group in Sept.?
