John-

Yep, this board is one we do not have. Sounds like it is used in PGT
imaging tricks that we also do not have. I had them visit a few years ago,
as a function of our local electron beamers group, with their "Rolling
Thunder" program for image processing. Very impressive. If Brian had
decided to not go for Visilog, PGT would have been high on my list.

Thanks for the user additions. I'll add 'em.

Give my best to Roy. He is one of the good people at Cameca and can be
relied on to do an excellent job.
