This is a pretty interesting article on SLR and IM effectively getting into the JIT PC business: biz.yahoo.com <<''This alliance was designed to give OEMs, resellers, and ultimately consumers, an additional supply-chain solution to meet the growing demand for customized PCs and computing products,'' said Fred Forsyth, president of Solectron's Systems Engineering and Services division.
