 "WE WANT YOUR FIRST BORN CHILD!"  It's rumored that a woman lawyer inside
 of Synopsys, named Sylvia, who used to work in Licensing Enforcement is
 now heading the Synopsys High School Outreach Program.  "We want to get
 the kids interested in engineering early on.  They're our employees of
 tomorrow!", Sylvia told me.  (And no, I'm not making this up!)

 SELLING ICE TO ESKIMOS  Most companies that do chip design have internal
 networks, internal web sites, with data management and rev control -- yet
 at the Vendor Faire, "Synchronicity" was selling just that.  Selling ice
 to Eskimos?  Wanna buy the Brooklyn bridge?  See www.syncinc.com
