Scott, I wasn't terribly impressed. What was the point? That news is so old its got mold on it. I'm trying to figure out what it was for except to fill some space in EE Times, was it a promotional advertisement for a consultant, or promoting two companies and dissing two, etc.? There were no answers and no solutions offered, plenty of gloom and doom, the industry is in the tank on this issue, and there certainly doesn't seem to be enough simulator "pilots" to do all the simulation we need to do and everyone is to blame for "it" (whoever and whatever that is). I guess that means we need to call in a "superhero", eh? Frankly, we've had better discussions on this forum about that topic than that was. What a waste. Enough of that... I am hoping your query is to stimulate some constructive "forward motion" toward solving the problem. Its been around for a very long time. Michael E.
