Thanks.

Beware of cheating physics: dielectrics which have a high dielectric
constant are also slow (wave propagation), so the portion of the plane
charge available to a given circuit node is reduced compared to using low
dielectric constant materials.

Earlier today Charles Grasso ([email protected]) posted a message about the
NCMS Buried Capacitance Project which in part read as follows:

        The flyer attachment he alluded to was deleted by the si-list mail server
        due to it's size. I have scraped the deleted bitsand bytes out of the
        bit-bucket and have posted them on the si-list archives web site.

        The flyer can be accesed by going to the si-list web site at

                        http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu

        and clicking on the EDC Conference link or you can get there directly at
        the following URL:
