NG767...is that a star ship? or is that series NGC. No they used two trucks, one was full of bad 820 chipsets and bad CPUs going to the gold scrap recovery refinery and the other one held the two CPUs. As a matter of fact if anyone can get a handle on the rate of gold/Silicon recycling through a refinery of the chipsets and bad CPUs etc you can track the volume of bad parts that had to be reclaimed. Same for the wasted wafers(no gold there). Probably that does not exist as a separate line item, but they will recycle the gold and wafers and there may be a leaky faucet somewhere. Bill
