ted - <You are probably right but it is almost the equivalent of an intc press release saying that it had just opened a plant in Portland where 200 Oregonians were hired as well as 45 others from the Northwest and 65 form the remaining states. A little weird, I think.> I depends on the target audience. I've seen articles just like this when a company comes into a locale. Actually, it is quite common for companies to even commit to hiring x number of local residents in exchange for some benefit, like tax breaks, right here in the U.S. BTW, Intel's location in Oregon has the opposite problem at the moment. Intel has to pay more taxes if it exceeds head count projections over the next 15 years, due to the area's high growth rate. Talk about weird. PB

Ted, <"It's called "Provincinalisim"." You are probably right but it is almost the equivalent of an intc press release saying... A little weird, I think.> Wrong. Before continue all this mocking, please note that the source is a LOCAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY DRESDEN site. The "Dresdener TransferBrief" seems to be a LOCAL news-page at this University web, in the area of University job relations. Hence the tone of the article about Fab30 which emphasizes the potential job openings for graduates. This is not an AMD press release. Take care.
