No problema to bottom line in 4Q.

Now if I was the engineer who had to get the plant back up and had to deal with the general crisis atmosphere in country and family had been affected, that's a problem.

PMCS 10K indicated that they had min. % of total production agreements with on of their two fabs. But, given the circumstances, if it was TSMC, I'm sure that there is an out to that clause. So as BD described, I'm sure the other fab would be able to pickup some of the shortfall. And EO4Q is a long time to work out these production issues...

TD, what's your feeling about SG Cowen analyst Drew Peck -- does his "track record" show reliability?

He was on CNBC this evening and said something to the affect that Taiwan was a short-term problem, and agreed that some stocks were being hit with the syndrome "throwing the baby out with the bath water" (Is PMCS in this category?).

I LOVE what PMCS Investor Relations said to our Billy Joe today (post #2736) -- (we) "Don't respond to mkt OVERREACTIONS".
