That plant is only a few miles away from me buddy. Brand spanking new addition was completed a couple of years ago. Milo, that means you will be the corporate spy and let us know when the lots are full and when they are not...then we will buy AMD accordingly. <g> I didn't know you lived near Gresham. Seriously, is it a big plant? I would have liked to see AMD buy it outright. They probably could have gotten a good price...Fujitsu is hurting. ted
