Subject: So Synopsys And Avanti Are Merging?  Who The Hell Really Cares???

From: "Daniel Conaway" <Daniel.Conaway@tellabs.com>                 

More of the same variable-quality tools and service to come from the EDA
Big Three.  Big, fat, hairy deal.

My last VP of engineering used to say that, if you wanted to get rich in
the design tool world, all you had to do was start your own tool company, 
nnounce something DIFFERENT than what Mentor, Cadence, or Synopsys had
available -- and then WAIT for one of those three behemoths to come and
buy you.

Dear John,

Good, bad, or merely inevitable?  After the appetizer of C Level, taken
without even an interesting chase, a nice entree like Avanti merely raises
the question, "who's for dessert?"
