          Topic:  
          
          Design for Manufacturability seems to be a popular buzz-phrase
          these days.  What about Design for Operability?  Will my circuit
          even work?  
          
          Jim Hixson will overview and discuss the types of data errors that
          will destroy a tight design schedule, force design re-spins and drive
          development costs though the roof.  Find out why revision A is
          inevitable and how you can help prevent its occurrence.  
          
          Jim Hixson is the Product Development Manager at ADI, a Design
          Rule Analysis software firm in Herndon, Virginia.  ADI's software
          reads CAD output data and reports inconsistancies between this
          data and the CAD database.  ADI's Pro-Circuit Builder product
          boasts multiple installations at corporations such as Sun
          Microsystems, Hewlett Packard, Compaq Computer and many,
          many others. 
          
          Directions -  
          From DC and points North of Springfield:  
          
          Take I-95 south to Exit 167 (Backlick Road South).  This is
          about 1 mile after I-95 leaves the beltway heading south.  Continue
          on Backlick Road through the underpass and straight past the
          light at Boudinot Road (McDonald's on your left).  Backlick has
          now become Alban Road.  Go « mile.  Turn right at sign for PS
          Business Center. Bear slightly right and go down the center of the
          parking lot to the first building on the right (7406).  Go in through
          the main lobby doors and follow signs upstairs to the conference
          room.  
          
          From points South of Springfield:  
          
          Take I-95 North to Exit 166.  At end of the ramp turn left (at light). 
          Go until road ends at light on Fullerton Road.  Turn left (use far
          left turn lane).  At next light turn left again onto Boudinot Road. 
          At the next light, turn right onto Alban Road (McDonald's on far
          right corner). Continue as above.
