     I've been a little disappointed with the PC Fab Net to date. I thought
     the anonymous nature of the PC Fab Net would encourage everyone to
     open up and move the industry collectively forward. The reality seems
     to be that it just provides cover for unprofessional communications.

     Perhaps I'm spoiled by the high quality of the interactions on the IPC
     TechNet. It's like being able to personally attend an open industry
     forum every day from my desk. The TechNet's proven to be very open and
     professional. I suppose there's something about putting your
     reputation on the line that pushes things to a higher level.
