tp..."single source suppliers" only intc fits...how about msft..... dell two main suppliers, which provided the very essence of computing are "sole source" this is the point i'm trying to make, but the majority of respondents, who don't have a clue about the delicate balance of a bto model, only want to quote chapter and verse from "direct from dell" dell has not lived through an economic downturn, and doesn't know or can predict how such a down turn can effect the supply chain....much as jpns business didn't realize they would ever enter a period of less then prosperity.....
