Subject: Synth support guru Jason Ware jumps ship from Synopsys to Cadence

Hi, John,

After 8 years at Synopsys I was ready for a change and I discovered during
the interview that Cadence was doing some pretty cool stuff over here.  I
also had some customers who were getting good results with RTL Compiler so
that swayed me as well.  I'm now a Texas FAE for the Verplex Conformal and
Get2chip RTL Compiler products.  Please let all your SNPS users know that
since I made the change, it's time for them to move as well.  ;-)

  Editor's Note: Back in November 1999, Jason Ware authored the widely
  used "Successful Synthesis Checklist" for Synopsys Design Compiler.
  He even updated it to a total of 113 points in August 2001.  - John
