EDA: Bring Costello Back?

Hi Sramana-

I don't mean to nit-pick, but I need to challenge your statement that "Synopsys, Magma, and Mentor are run by their founders." While true for Synopsys and Magma, Mentor was founded by Tom Bruggere, Gerry Langeler and Dave Moffenbeier. None of these gentlemen are currently involved in executive leadership at the company. If I remember correctly, the company's current CEO, Walden C. Rhines, came from TI in the mid- to early- 90's. As one of the engineers that remembers "the good old days" at Mentor, I couldn't let this one slip by.

Thanks,

Dean Stevens
