Seriously, CD's are pretty tough. That one must have received very "special"
handling to yield 17 pieces. BTW, did you ever receive an envelope with a big
official sticker on it that reads "Damaged in Handling by your Postal
Service"? The irony is almost more than I can stand. <g>

But - they had 3 dB of packaging margin when they released it to
production! J
We are the EMC Society, not the Shock & Vibe, or Packaging, society -
maybe
we should spend some of that dues revenue to hire a consultant?
Seriously- you should be able to contact the society VP for Conference
Services, the list contributor Ghery Petit, and have a replacement sent out to
you.
Best Regards,

Subject: Damaged CD of 2009 EMC Proceedings
Hello All, Checking my mail on Saturday I found my copy of the 2009 EMC
Symposium Proceedings CD.
I was anxious to read the papers presented, I was not able to attend
due to
"Budget Concerns" at my company.
Opening the package, all 17 pieces of what was originally the CD fell
out.
I can't believe an engineering society would think that sending a CD
thru the
mail in a flimsy paper cover had any chance of survival.
Have any other members received there proceedings CD in "KIT FORM" ???
Someone needs to be held accountable for a major lack of understand of
fundamental engineering principals.
You can't mail a CD in a thin paper - fold over mailer. The Post office
will
crush it.
I intend to return the pieces to the mailing organization demanding a
properly packaged replacement.
I feel better now - I'll take my soap box and go back to work.
Regards to all
Michael Taylor
