Scott, So you are now elevated to Grand Poobah! Congratulations! No one more deserving of it than yourself. I just wanted to chime in on the "as well as us old timers" portion on Eric's book. It's not just for beginners. For example, Eric's discussion on dielectric losses (Chapter 9)is one of the most coherent discussions of the subject that I've ever read. He has a unique way of making complex material simple. Thus the title of the book, I would guess.

I would highly recommend his new website www.bethesignal.com as a good source for information and training materials. I would also recommend that anyone looking for a signal integrity check list need only follow the same mantra: "Be the signal." Use all of your fundamental Electrical Engineering and Physics knowledge and apply it to the signal path.
