I've often times wondered if Bill Gates has a twin brother who happens to run
the IPC. Let me get this right, if I stop using 276, then I can buy TWO! new
specs to take it's place ;| . Wow, another deal from IPC! 'Course I did know
this was coming 2 years ago when I attended at User's Group conference and the
IPC guy giving a talk on the IPC certification made mention that IPC was going
to simplify their documents. Sorry, IPC, just my 2 cents.
