(Nuclear winter) "has been for going on 8 months now and shall continue." Great!!! Glad to hear it! Keep that "nuclear winter" going because I can't imagine what a mess we would be in if it weren't reducing demand. <GGG> yahoo.cnet.com

More "nuclear winter"? bloomberg.com Spending on components used to make computers, cellular phones and other digital goods drove the May increase and has helped boost earnings at Arrow Electronics Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. as well as other makers of chips and components. Electronic equipment orders rose 26 percent last month, the steepest rise since August 1997, after falling 17.6 percent in April, the government reported. Electronic goods include communications equipment, appliances and video equipment, as well as semiconductors, circuit boards, capacitors, resistors, coils and transformers. Rising demand for computers has tightened supply of everything from simple capacitors to complex Intel Corp. microprocessors. That's one reason orders fell in April, analysts said.
