James Metcalfe

I was well aware of the use of Certified however I thought it best to
clarify the term for the other readers of this group lest thay thisnk that
this is higher level of IC . Like everyone else I too am waiting for the
final paper work from CSIC. Perhaps Leslie could impart some of her newly
learned knowledge in the NG for all of us, including those of us who have
been practising as uncertified ICs for years to learn from. Some times new
dogs can teach old dogs a trick or two. I am never too old to learn from
others. Et tu!
