Praise from the Smithsonian

I have had the opportunity to read the two supplements (Southwest Supplement, Literature Showcase) to your October 1997 issue. They were very informative! Through collecting 30 years (1964-1994) of technology, I was deeply interested in Solid State Technology for several reasons: to confirm/deny information I currently have and may question; to follow the technology before/after the 30 years; to read about GaAs breakthroughs; and of course, to see if you are following the experimental work at the Virtual National Laboratory at Sandia at Livermore. Your magazine has been most helpful in a museum research collection. After the Cold War ended, I was in a ripe position to return to my specialty - solid state! Thanks for a great magazine and a valued source of reference!
