Disk drive market heating up? From Yahoo: Monday November 26, 10:31 am Eastern Time Singapore Manufacturing Output Drops Singapore's Manufacturing Output Falls 21.4 Percent in October SINGAPORE (AP) -- Manufacturing output in recession-hit Singapore fell 21.4 percent in October compared with a year ago amid slack demand for electronics, the government said Monday. The 21.4 percent decline followed a 22.1 percent fall in September, the Economic Development Board said in a statement. October production was marginally better than some analysts expected, with DBS Bank forecasting a 22.5 percent decline and JPMorgan Chase predicting a 23 percent fall. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi had foreseen a 15 percent to 19 percent fall. Electronics production in October fell 36 percent from a year ago compared with a 34.8 percent drop in September, as the slump in global demand persisted. In the nine months ended Oct. 31, Singapore's industrial production fell 10.3 percent compared with the year-ago period, the board said. October's fall in overall manufacturing marks the seventh consecutive month of decline. Aside from sluggish world demand for computer chips, the contraction in electronics output also reflected the impact of the slowdown in major economies and the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, the statement said. Output of semiconductors sank 53.6 percent, while that of information and communication products plunged 48.1 percent. However, output of data storage equipment, which includes disk drives for personal computers, leapt 37.4 percent, as local disk drive manufacturers churned out products with new designs, the board said. The EDB's monthly index of industrial production covers all manufacturing activities except rubber processing and granite quarrying.

OT re Segway (sic). I want one. >>>>>>>>>>> from The Register But then again, it's not so heavy that it can't easily be grabbed and tossed into the back of someone else's pickup truck... And dogs will chase them relentlessly. For dogs, surely, Ginger is proof of God's infinite love and generosity. <<<< theregister.co.uk Anyone have a pickup truck I can borrow?<g> Wonder how long it will take before someone trains his dog to use one? P.S. With suggestions that Kamen's Segway (http://www.segway.com/consumer/segway/) will do for the car what the car did for the horse and buggy, I respectfully submit that the revolution in the way we live came not from the invention of the car, but in Henry Ford making it affordable for the regular people like me.
