Editor's Note: I'd like to apologize for not puting out ESNUG for the past
  6 weeks but I've had four major conferences (Design SuperCon/SNUG/OVI/VIUF)
  to attend plus I just got an engagement ring for my girlfriend (probably
  meaning we're getting married) plus I put together and ran a major ESDA
  Shootout at Design SuperCon plus...  Oh, yea! -- I do run a business, too.

  Also, upon getting back I found my landlord had "Aart" & "Harvey" (the two
  goats named after the CEO and Chairman of Synopsys) in his truck and was
  going to bring them to the slaughter house!  "I'm gonna have me some goat
  stew!", said my landlord.  For quite some time now, "Harvey" figured out
  how to jump out of the corral and would eat the X-mas trees in our back
  yard.  ("Aart" couldn't figure out how to get out of the corral.)  "Harvey"
  got bored with eating pine trees and decided to eat the bark off of (and
  thus killing) two 20 year old peach trees instead.  To boot, with all the
  snow piled up, even "Aart" could jump the corral fence and they were both
  caught eating grape vines!  Now the landord says I got 2 days to find a new
  home for the goats "or they're going to be in my freezer."  Yikes!
