Steve, Depending on the locus of that earthquake it could be a global IC catastrophe because most of the Taiwan fabs are in a technical park in one area. Looks for a hugely profitable year for AMD if this happens as people scurry for fab space all over the world, same for Intel and all the others. memory, game ICs etc through the roof. CNN has it, 90 miles from Taipei in the mountains. Might cause some alignment problems in the Hengchu SCience park, but there will be little structural damage. Some of the process boys on here will be able to comment how much aggravation a bit ofshaking can cause. Bill
