Brian, Tantalum capacitors, ceramic capacitors, yes we went around on these when JJ came out with his grandstand call. Kyoto, Japan-based Murata. The company estimates that about 10 percent of the 2.2 billion ceramic capacitors it cranks out each month... Holy cow, to borrow from Phil Rizzuto, that's just ceramics, for just one month, from just one company!!!!!!! This one: >Capacitors are a small but necessary part of almost all electronic devices, acting as a sort of shock absorber for the circuit board. Then there's the "microprocessor, the brains of a personal computer." Does anyone else think they could cease and desist acting like readers are clueless wrt any technical knowledge at all? I mean, they don't call cars "the replacement for the horse and buggy anymore, do they"? Back off the high horse. Tony
