Subject: Requests for Users Meeting?? /New Probe Position
From:
Status: OR
I forgot to ask -- if sx users out there have specifics they wish raised
at the sx users meeting next week, please forward them to me.
If you have specific suggestions for software improvements, esp. bug
complaints, please send them. I had a long talk with Michel Outrequin
(Cameca France's Application Manager) at the GSA meeting -- it is
apparently not too late to make suggestions for the upcoming revision
of the software (sx100) which will runnable on our older sx50/51 systems.
The point is that a suggestion backed by 5 users/labs has a greater
chance of being addressed vs one backed by 1 user/lab.
