Now that all silly disclaimers have been thoroughly eradicated, come and sign up for X-Fest in a city near you. Whether you are in the U.S. or Canada, in Europe or Isreal, in Asia or Australia or New Zealand,j there is an X-Fest near you. These are technical seminars with an absolute minimum of Marketing. I have been working on the keynote address, and many of our applications engineers have created the detailed presentations. I am sure you will learn something that helps you with your next design. You can google: "Avnet X-Fest 2007" to get to the sign-up page.
