<<CYMI has built capacity to produce 1000 lasers/year, yet will run at only about 75% of that capacity in 1998. Economically, that is not a smart move if they don't plan on using that capacity in the near future (MicroEconomics 101). >> Capacity, even though you don't need them all, is very important to fend off your competitors. The worst thing you want is not be able to fill the order and your customers go to your competitors. In short, capacity is cheap compared to losing customers. Maxwell
