Aubrey,
SI list should be a site for professional discussion, not for joking. I
don't think your comment about Compaq is just "fun".
At Compaq, we do understand the differences between boardside vs edge
couplings and do our analysis accordingly.

Subject: RE: [SI-LIST] : Broadside v edge coupled striplines
Scott,
You have pointed out good ways to reduce those two factors, not eliminate
them, right? Do you have manufacturing data to how much reduction in
variation?
And CPW is an Edge-coupled system, right?
And I hope everyone realizes my comment about Compaq and Sun was made in
fun.
And I do know how to spell Broad Side, even if Outlook does not.
