"...bail out..."

Those on this set of comments have used the term "bail out." This implies that the yield problems experienced in F25 cannot be solved. I have news for you - thay can be solved and have been solved. Simply put the only way to look at this deal with IBM is to see it as incremental capacity to F25, a filler of incremental capacity until F30 comes on stream, and a good deal for IBM's low end Aptiva where they can skim off K-6 products (of course, accounted for properly) for their own use. This is what I think they mean when they say "somewhat augment..." This is a simple deal and no more and the Stockies of thw world just don't get it.
