ebay could use Tandem. I do a good bit of buying there (I collect trading cards as a hobby). Sometimes the whole system is down or moving so slow. If Tandem could move into ebay it would be a big win.

OT K: Of interest. M2 Taiwan's United Micro plans US$3 bln wafer fab TAIPEI, July 15 (Reuters) - United Microelectronics Corp (TW:2303), Taiwan's second biggest microchip maker, said on Thursday it was planning a US$3 billion advanced 12-inch wafer fabrication plant in southern Taiwan. United Micro said the 12-inch plant, located in the Tainan Science-based Industrial Park in southern Taiwan, was part of the company's ambitious 10-year T$500 billion (US$15 billion) project there. Construction of the new plant would be completed in the fourth quarter of 2000. United Micro said 12-inch wafer plants were the wave of the future for the industry and the project would enable the company to become a leader in made-to-order foundry chipmaking. It did not say how the project would be financed, nor did it give other details. In May, Taiwan's largest microchip producer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TW:2330) and Mosel Vitelic Inc (TW:2342) announced plans to build 12-inch wafer plants in Taiwan. United Micro in June merged with four of its subsidiaries in a move to streamline operations and boost profits. (US$=T$32.3)
