Tony - Re: "The Taiwan earthquake last year brought this out also, or is this stuff overblown?" This current issue seems to have been "Underblown" - and rightfully so. The Taiwan Earthquake did NOT interrupt raw material production used in Fab or Assembly processes - it did disrupt - temporarily - the production of key IC componenets used in various PCs and other electronic instruments. Perhaps you might remember the Sumitomo Epoxy Resin factory explosion - around July 4, 1993 ? That did impact - slightly - the IC assembly processes of most IC manufacturers. Paul
