Thank's anyway Creditman here's a little something I found in barron's................ Investors also loaded up on some little known computer names following a mention in Barron's "Plugged In" column. Business is booming for the oft-ignored, unglamorous technology sector called contract electronics manufacturing. Companies like Solectron, SCI Systems, Flextronics International, DII Group and Jabil Circuit build computer gear sold under famous brand names like Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard and Sun Microsystems. Alexander Blanton, an analyst at investment boutique Ingalls & Synder, says these contract manufacturers boast strong, steady, predictable growth, according to the column. Solectron shares increased 2 1/4 to 39 91/6; SCI Systems added 1 5/8 to 40 3/8; DII Group rose 1 to 25; Jabil picked up 2 15/16 to 40 11/16; and Sanmina moved ahead 3/4 to 61.
