Without making any commitment to do anything, I would like to inquire as to whether there would be any interest in being able to ask applications questions to our engineers via email or whether the old fashioned way of telephone calls is good enough. I am sure that many (most) of the users of USENET are software types but there are enough hardware types to justify groups like net.analog. I had in mind publishing a list of chips and the mboxes of the engineers responsible for supporting them. Send mail to me indicating: 1) whether you'd use this 2) how do you get applications assistance now 3) what chips you're interested in 4) estimate of the annual dollar value of AMD chips you buy now (personally I don't care but I think management does) 5) general comments If you consider this an exploitation of the net, don't flame me, just let me know. We certainly don't want to offend anybody, just possibly offer a service of value to people. -- Why, that's more useless than the left thumb of a touch typist!
