>San Francisco Chronicle ran an article on the front page of their business section (I beleive it

>RDRT............88%
>AMAT............53%
>KMAG............50%
>KLAC.............50%
>ASND............28%
>LSI.................25%
>NSM...............24%
>HWP...............16%

This is quite misleading. RDRT for example, supplies its products to disk drive manufactuers like Seagate who does most its manufacturing in the Far East. Even large percentage of the final products from Seagate are shipped to yet another Asian location for assemply into a PC by an American based company, the ultimate products are consumed mostly in US.

If the Far East does experience slow down, like Malaysia slows building highrise, companies get hurt the most are not RDRT, but the consumer product companies like KO, PESI, and Flore.
