Hi John,

Hope all is going well for you.  It's great that EDAC stepped up to
reinstate Free Monday at DAC, but a group of us (Mike Gianfagna,
Scott Sandler, and I) were thinking that Free Exhibits all week would
be even better ...

So, we wanted to let you know that Atrenta, Denali and Springsoft will
be sponsoring 600 free DAC Exhibit Hall passes this year.  We will
make this open to current and recently laid off EDA users on a first-
come, first-serve basis.  Here's how it will work:

        http://www.deepchip.com/FreeWeekLongDACpasses.html

You must fill in your contact details.  All fields are required.  If
you are employed, you must use a corporate email address.

If you are unemployed, you may use a personal email address, but must
list your last company and indicate your current status.

NOTE: Academics and EDA vendors are excluded; you have alternate ways
to get into DAC.  This is only for EDA USERS.

Within 24 hours, the registrants will get an email with their pass.

Hi, Scott, Mike,

Is this true?  Are you guys really paying for 600 DAC passes for EDA
users including the laid off guys?

Hi, John,

Yes, it's true.  I just wanted to see the users be able to come to DAC
all week long instead of just on Free Monday only.

Hi, John,

Yea, and all three us thought it would be the right thing to make sure
that the unemployed guys got into DAC, too.
