Hi, John,
 
Yes, we're doing it again, but with a twist.  This year, instead of 600,
the number of free full exhibit passes will be *unlimited*.  As long as
you're an EDA user or an out-of-work user OR out-of-work vendor, you're
in.  Here's how to register:

              http://www.DeepChip.com/FreeDAC10passes.html

Please pass the word to your readers -- if you're an EDA user, getting into
the exhibits at DAC will be free this year, period.

Hi, John,

Yes, we're doing it again.  One thing Mike forgot to mention is that the
first 500 people to register are put into a raffle drawing for a free
16 GB Wi-Fi Apple iPad -- which seems to be the new toy everyone in the
valley wants this month.

Hi, John,

Yes, it's real.  With the employed EDA users, the unemployed users and
unemployed vendors are included.  That is, we're giving free DAC passes
to ALL users regardless of their current employment status -- plus all
the laid off EDA employees.
