[EFM] Re: A note a about copper loops
All,
On Behrooz' comment below to contact Stanford on
the Copper Conference -- we have a few of the hardbound
copies of the conference left over. We under anticipated the
interest. If you act now, and write Ms. Joice DeBolt
at joice@xxxxxxxxxxxx with a credit card number, you may be
able to get one of the remaining books for $115. We promised
authors that electronic copies would not be made available.
In any case, Joice handled the conference administration
and can help anyone get one of the remaining
books that contain the statistics and information mentioned below.
(I hope no one considers this a solicitation -- Stanford is a nonprofit
organization and we are lucky if we break even on such conferences,
registration was free and the $115 just covered copy costs.)
