John, It can never stop, as the nunbers are increasing faster than the speeds, and so keep getting ahead, even as you make your testers faster. The self testing modular approach mentioned by Paul will have to take up more and more space, strictly as a time saver. It will take a fast cheap hookup to implement those tests, and you can have many of those testing the sections(they would be simpler, power sources with some switch and activate codes and logging abilities). The big test machines would then test the passed cohorts from the self tests. I would imagine they would make it a jig machine to max through put, and one fast machine might operate a number of test cells like a chess master in a simul. Bill
