Another evolutionary indicator of ESL becoming more mainstream - all the copies of the new book ESL Design and Verification (which I co-wrote with Brian Bailey, Andy Piziali and a host of contributors) that Elsevier Morgan-Kaufmann shipped to DATE sold out! But they will ship plenty more to DAC and it can also be ordered from our web site http://www.electronicsystemlevel.com/ and from the Elsevier web site. I realise this is a somewhat self-interested comment, but we have also established an open forum on ESL at http://electronicsystemlevel.com/phpBB/index.php and are encouraging all to join and post articles, thoughts, comments and reactions. I hope that some of your readers might find this a useful contribution to the ESL debate.
