Yes I guess my email was cryptic. As Walter said, Cadence is starting a new "list", called "cadence support forums". The new Cadence sponsored list is definitely in its infancy; there were a total of 5 all-time posts on the Allegro section. I was just curious if anyone knew why they wanted to do that instead of depend on this list, which although not as prolific as some others I have known, nevertheless has been very valuable for the 5 years I have been here. -----Original Message----- From: Walter Boese Jr. [mailto:walterb@xxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 9:31 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: cadence support forums Andy, I think you misunderstood Patrick. I received an email from Cadence that they are starting a support group: http://supportforums.cadence.com I believe that was what his email was about.
