I agree with you, Sam. This is typical of SCI. Boy, have they ever fallen from their once-lofty perch atop the industry. Creates a good opp to pick up bargains among the other victims, like FLEX.

SCI / component shortages. tantalum and ceramic caps were the only specific components I heard mentioned. I do think this is more SCI's problem than others, especially with the apparent PC slowdown. SCI has taken positive steps to diversify away from PCs, and I expect they will follow up this news with an acquisition soon to help soften this news and to provide comfort to the Street on meeting forecasts for the year.
