One thing I can tell you Les is that they were paying say $10K for a PCB (printed circuit board) to have it made in 2-3 days that if they wanted to wait say 5 days they could have gotten for $2K. Same bd today probably $1K. And they were also funding alot of capital equipment purchases to mfgs to support them. One shop in North Tyneside UK was being built and modeled after just one CSCO PCB. That shop was actioned off last month. Things have changed in PCB land, where we have probably 50-60% unused capacity at the moment.
