Subject: ( ESNUG 478 #1 ) Cadence oddly quiet about Gary Smith warning

> Since Gary Smith warned (in Oct when Fister resigned) that Cadence might

Hi, John,

The folks at Cadence are going to kill you for publishing this about their
IC group.  Watch out for any packages you get in the mail!

Yea, I thought Cadence was going to be all in my face about this, too.
Or at least that they'd what to publically comment on this to "set the
record straight" (which is their right) but I heard nothing from them
on it whatsoever.  Nothing formally.  Nothing informally.  Nada.

Do you think Gary's prediction is right?  Are they earnestly looking to
shut down their IC CAD group?

I have no idea.  Maybe some of Gary's contacts deep inside Cadence told him
something.  I simply don't know.  In my opinion, shutting down their IC CAD
division all depends on exactly how their new CEO plans to "fix" the
company -- which is yet to be determined.

Do you mind if I run our discussion in ESNUG?
