OTWidgets*>>But when a boxmaker asks me to manufacture their widgets, I have to wonder why they are offering to do me such a favor. Does this make any sense, <<< It does make sense in a lot of cases. The box maker can only run his factory at 40% of capacity (slow economy and consumer demand). A company like SLR, SANM, FLEX can add the the box maker to one of their factories that are running at 60%, (with no increase in physical plant facility). If you were ever a paperboy as a youth you must have figured out that you could run two routes with only a 25% increase in time and have a 100% increase in profits. JMO...Jerome
