<<The amount of metal (any metal) used in semiconductor wafer processing is insignificant in terms of world metals markets.>>

No kidding. This must be some sort of joke. I remember when people were talking about gold-plated contacts (which use a lot more metal than is conceivable on a wafer) running up the price of gold.

Now, a shortage in the global nickel supply is another matter, but it has nothing to do with computers.
