RE:"Ouch. That can't be good for FASL (or AMD)." I think is good for AMD longer term if they don't enter into a partnership with Fujitsu. Now they can pick up the whole plant themselves if they wish. Short term though, I see your point. Jim

wanna_bmw, <Re: "Fujitsu closes Gresham, OR plant" Ouch. That can't be good for FASL (or AMD)> Is this a sign of a strained partnership? Makes me wonder after the infamous, "We are good at using other people's money" statement from Jerry. IMO, that has to be one of the most disastrous things any CEO can publicly say. Although he did not mean it that way, all sorts of negative connotations come to mind when I hear that quote. I think finding, as well as maintaining partners, may have gotten a little bit harder for AMD after that statement. SK
