Steve,

No relation to Andy G.<g>...but if you owned Coms
before last quarter earnings report, you'd be a little
edgy yourself<g>

OK -- Start over....
>>Just what the hell does COMS buy from these guys?<<

It's the other way around. Jabil contracts out work to
COMS. Here's a blurb of what Jabil does:


Jabil Circuit is the third-largest national manufacturer
of circuit board systems, trailing Solectron and SCI
Systems. The company's products are used in PCs,
printers, network hardware, cellular phones, and
cars. Jabil's major customers include
Hewlett-Packard, 3Com, and Cisco Systems (more
than half of its revenues come from
telecommunications clients); such companies use
contract manufacturers like Jabil to save money and
improve production times. Jabil has manufacturing
facilities in Malaysia, Mexico, the UK, and the US.
CEO (and founder's son) William Morean and his
family own 41% of the company.


Now, reread my previous post again, and it'll make
more sense.
