Editor's Note: To answer Brett's question, this year's DAC'03 Trip
Report will be up on DeepChip.com on Tuesday, Jan 13, 2004. Why a wee
bit late? Well, for one thing I've already recieved over 400 customer
emails from my surveys. (Last year I got 223. That's an 80% rise in
replies!) On average each user comments on 2 to 3 different tools; so
that's 2.5 x 400 = 1,000 user comments. And for each user comment I must
1.) figure out where the comment goes in the overall report,
2.) keep track of the anon vs. signed status, and
3.) clean up the comment's format, spelling, & grammar.
Last year a contract editor helped me with this. This year I found out
she's left the business, so I've been painfully stuck doing all this
editing on my own between paying consulting gigs. It's now 70% complete.
After Christmas break (and God willing) it'll be ready for prime time.

P.S. And Brett, SystemC will be the dominant language when pigs fly! :)
