Let me know if you are interested......

I 've scheduled the BlazeRouter Ver.5.0 class in Mentor Graphics, San Diego on Friday, November 15, 2002 from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. Below is a description of the class and key topics to be covered. Please note that the Ver.5.0 class will include placement capabilities and additional routing features. Cost of the class is $600 per person.

Mentor Graphics, San Diego is located at 11232 El Camino Real, Suite 200, San Diego, CA 92130. Please forward this email to others in the PADs User Group who might be interested in the class. If the November 15th class reaches its max. of 12 (we already have 3 people signed up), I could always add another class on November 14th.

Tom,

I am certainly interested, if I can get my boss to agree. He would certainly be more amenable to a class in Seattle, Wa. or Portland (Wilsonville) Or. Any idea if Mentor would be interested in doing training in either of those locations or who I should call/e-mail to find out?

Thanks,
Ben

Ben,

Anyone can get the BlazeRouter class to come to their town if Mentor has an office there. You must have commitments from at least three people to start a class. The class opens up to a total of 12 people and rolls over to a second day if the first class fills up.

We have three designers from Wind River taking the class and I just got two more people signed up for the San Diego class this morning. I think San Diego Is the "Place To Be" in mid November. We could potentially fill both classes.

It's our goal to become BlazeRouter "Product Champions" so we can help Mentor Graphics with the future development of the program.

Anyone can register on-line at: http://www.mentor.com/es/courses/index.cfm?crs=213098&page=25
