Re: LC version 2.7 now available.

Hi Kevin,
Sorry to bother you - I can't locate your email on how to 
get LC.  Can you refresh my memory?

Thanks,

Chris

Update - I haven't had lots of time to work with it yet.  Actually,
with the reorg, I don't know if ever will have the time I want
to devote to it.  But I'd like to keep trying.  We're off doing
"Information Technology" - and I don't think the local bosses 
think there's value in investigating EM issues associated with
high performance circuits/modules.  But I'll keep after them :)
