Dear Sir,
I would like to stop being in this group as I already finished my
work.
Thanks.

I am guilty of approving this message. Since I have not yet 'finished my
work', I thought that I would pass on my thoughts.
I realize that some of the members join this group just to pass a course
or get a degree. That is ok - the world is made of many types of people.
For me, learning and helping others is a never ending experience. No
matter what you get involved with in life, you can always 'give a little
and learn a little'.
I appreciate the bi-directional dynamics of this list.

A thought for students in general: companies ask during interviews to which groups you are subscribed and what posts
you made. In the 21st century it's not credible if you did a 4 or 5 year technical degree and somehow found a way to
avoid participation in online technical groups -- especially to ask some questions.
For Norrima: assuming you were participating in DSP or TI related groups, you might want to stay connected. It would
look better in your interview process to show the earliest subscription/membership dates possible. Also you might
want to sign up for e2e.ti.com, comp.dsp, and a couple of the other Yahoo groups (if you didn't already).

C6000 Yahoo groups is a great resource. Independent of my professional
affiliations, I have found folks such as Jeff Brower, Mike Dunn, Bhooshan Iyer,
to name a few
great resources in answering a diverse range of questions.
Wish I had such a resource when I was in college.
Regards
JS

I would reiterate the advise Mike, Jeff and JS have mentioned in this thread
for students even if they first came here to "solve few problems" during a
course. Well, thats exactly how I entered comp.dsp many years back. During
my stay here, I learnt not just c6x. When it was not highly
nuanced programming techniques it was business ideas and trends. Built
some relationships and businesess. Sometimes we have even hired successfully
from this forum monitoring contributions of certain talented engineers -
that have served us very well!
Contributions to a rare, focussed technology forum like c6x is an excellent
way to learn, build your career and impress your future boss.
P.S: I have been quite silent in this list for the past year. But I monitor
it regularly and read almost threads still!
