Some people said that I have not written on this list for a while, so I =
make some comments:

     The students should learn theory from books at school, not from =
vendor tools. If a student goes for using tools to build up his (or her) =
resume, and does not drill in theory, he or she will surely fail in =
their career. University education is very important in a student's =
career.

One other thought that should have been included in my last
e-mail but that just occurred to me:

It seems that a lot of tool specific questions originate from .edu =
addresses.
I'm sure the universities are using licensed copies of the tools they =
make
available to their students (if not, that's a separate issue), but I'm =
not so
sure how easy it is for the students to access vendor support. I'd guess =
that
there may be difficulties with say several hundred undergrads from
signal_integrity_u.edu calling up some vendor's support line and asking =
basic
questions. Some wouldn't know where to call, some won't know the license
number for the tool in question, some may not even know that support is
available. So in particular, questions to the list may seem to be the =
only
avenue open to them aside from asking the prof or TA (not really an =
option
when you want an answer in a hurry).


I'm not proposing that si-list be the preferred first line of info for
all tool questions, but I don't see a big issue with the occassional
question as long as the option of posing these questions isn't
overused.
