Ted, oil is only one component...there is evidence of inflation in other components as well. Oil is simply the one most visible. Energy costs reflect in every other sector. Everything needs to be manufactured and/or transported. All business costs are directly or indirectly affected. My travel expense has skyrocketed this year because of increased airplane fares. This affects the cost of the microprocessor development, which affects the cost of the products which the processor is used in. When you have first silicon, do you expect it to run smoothly at top speed levels? No, you have to tweak it. That's all the fed is doing right now....its tweaking the economy. I would never dream of taking a fast microprocessor design and slowing it down, because I was afraid that the high performance was somehow unhealthy. I guess that I think differently than the Fed. If this is really true, then I think SV will lose its edge and some other place will take over.....its always about the learning IMO. Somehow I can't imagine SV losing it's edge. People come from all over the world to work here, by the hundreds of thousands. Scumbria
