Very nicely done!  57.134mm - 56.413mm = 721um
=> T(delay) = 721um / 150um/ps = 4.8ps

That is a very tiny delay!  Now that we have achieved such close
synchronization, I'm suggesting we go for the next goal where we
design a certain amount of inter-pair skew into the layout for
purposes of lowering the strength of our synchronized pulsing data
lines to a more diffuse chatter.

I understand.  We might end up with more room--see discussion below.

Again, they look nice.<div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
