Derek, I remeber you posted that about MCD from awhile back. This is a small piece I have about the FLEXF/Pilot connection. ------------------------ The company's adept moves have landed it big-name customers such as Johnson & Johnson's Lifescan subsidiary, US Robotics, and Microsoft. For Lifescan, Flextronics is making a blood glucose monitor. For US Robotics, the "Pilot" personal organizer. As for Microsoft, "we're talking with them about several products," says Don Fredericks, Flextronics' vice president of finance, "but for now we make a lot of mice." Flextronics has 40 customers total, but Lifescan and US Robotics each account for more than 10% of revenues. ------------------------ Perhaps MCD and FLEXF BOTH have a piece of the action? Do you know what part of the Pilot MCD manufactures?
