>      Hello All,
>
>      On September 11, Rick Hartley is coming to Houston  to present a
> High
>      Speed Design and Controlled Impedance workshop at the Great
> Southwest
>      Equestrian Center off  I10 in Katy. Rick is a highly respected
> speaker
>      who serves as chairman of the High speed design focus module for
> the
>      IPC and is a member of the IPC-D-275 subcommittee. This is a one
> day
>      course with a registration fee of $80, continental Breakfast and
> Lunch
>      Provided. A workbook will be provided and there will be a table
> set up
>      containing information on products related to this course. This
> same
>      course has been offered elsewhere for registration up to $300.
> This
>      class is geared for engineers, technicians, printed circuit board
>
>      designeres, and others who work with designs, such as
> manufacturing
>      and fabrication engineers. The proceeds will go to help bring
> more
>      educational workshops to the Houston area through the local IPC
>      Designers Council.
