Ted, Re: A lot of expansion of MU and the semi industry in Boise. It is a nice place (grew up there) and MU exploded to be the areas largest employer. I think HWP has scaled back recently with product line shifts. MU chose not to overconcentrate and their new fab is in Utah (?) - they said they didn't want to be the dominant employer but it may have been more a decision to tap another pool of workers. I went with a Micron system since a friend was a support tech so steered me to solid choices - particularly investing in a high quality (non-Micron) monitor. -PT
