To Thread - Earthquake Rocks Taiwan Chip Makers (09/20/99, 6:40 p.m. ET) (http://www.techweb.com/wire/finance/story/INV19990920S0005) From the article: "...A massive earthquake rocked Taiwan early Tuesday, though preliminary estimates from the island's chip makers are revealing more problems associated with lack of power than with serious damage to brick-and-mortar facilities or manufacturing lines..." ================================================================== It appears that there is little to no damage, just power outage. Work in process may be the only liability if at all. EKS

Off topic/ kinda My limited knowledge tells me that Al is compatible with Si; Ag, Cu may have problems, Ag would be compatible with Ga-As? Au is relatively inert and may have its own problems with that regard. Do you have any ideas? I just want to find more uses for Ag and Au as consumables to increase price of the commodities (personal reasons etc.) Regards
