As you may know, Andy Shaughnessy has successfully (and at long last) shoved me aside for the editor's job on Printed Circuit Design & Manufacture. So, for the second time in my career, I have jumped from the design world to the assembly side. As such, you won't see my smiling face in Santa Clara at PCB West this week. I'll miss catching up with friends new and old (even you, Rick). 

I hope the UP Media staff treats you well and be sure to drop me a line or post to this listserv and let me know how it went. 

Have a great week!

Best,
Mike
