jim - <Are you saying Intel wasn't smart enough to add capacity in advance or maybe they just had too many problems and couldn't get up to capacity?>

To be this smart, Intel would have had to make decisons regarding outlay of capital a matter of YEARS ago.

This is the semiconductor industry. Cyclical capacity issues have appeared to me to be an inherent part of doing business in my close to 20 years doing this stuff.

No excuse. Just the way it is.
