Most of AMD's apps engineers have accounts on Unix systems where
they can receive electronic mail. 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.
