Well, I write this on the eve of my last day with Agilent Technologies and an EMC design career spanning 21 years! Many have asked how it feels (of course, the smile keeps getting larger) and after some thought, it's the same feeling I get when just about to embark on a major trip - a mix of anticipation and a little excitement. I certainly have mixed feelings about leaving the company early (I turn 57 this April), because I've enjoyed the job, enjoyed working with such talented people and have loved the challenge of helping the designers over the regulatory hurdles. On the other hand, this is the longest I've worked for any company and it just seems right to move on to new opportunities. Exciting times ahead, to be sure!
