Hi, John,

I wanted you to know that your Rajeev interview hit 1,201 registered viewers
today, which is a record.  The next closest video is the Santarini interview
with 983.  In contrast, the Synopsys "new Hercules" video got 629 viewers.

Speaking of interviews, what do you want to do for DAC?  From our point of
view, we don't want to do anything tied to demos this time since we waited
forever last year for 14 vendors to get their acts together to shoot their
product demos to go with your DAC booth visit videos.  It held the whole
thing up for an absurd amount of time.  We don't want to do that again.

I suggest that this year you do only 6 to 8 in-depth interviews of what you
think is "hot" at this DAC.  The one you did with Kathryn Kranen of Jasper
should be the model.  People want the details.

Who and what do you think is going to be "hot" this year at DAC?  We should
contact them now to get ready for filming.

Phil,

I really like the idea of doing only 6 to 8 interviews at DAC this time.
The problem is that I have no idea who or what is going to be "hot" this
year until I get on the DAC floor.  How about I publish your letter and
see what suggestions come back?

John,

Sounds like a good idea.  Run with it.
