RE <<<Tejerk is implying that BECAUSE the plant is in Israel, it is ALWAYS under terrorist attack.>>> Its amazing how you choose to interpret things. What I meant was closer to what Burt posted. Israel is a country that due to hostilities with the neighboring Arabs and the Palestinian tends to have more terrorist incidents and bombings than normal. Since the new fab is in Israel, there is a greater possibility of a problem than say in the Czech Republic. However since I posted that, PB (you know who is) has assured that there have been no problems at an older Israeli fab and in fact, during the 90's war, that fab was able to keep production going. So my concerns re the new fab have proven groundless and intc's ASPs will not fall faster because of it. ted
