Shane and others: One of the reasons for asking the question about INTC acquiring LSI was in response to an article appearing in the Financial Times dated February 4, 1998. In the article the following appeared: "Fabs using the latest chip production technologies currently cost $ 2 billion to build- and the cost is rising rapidly. According to Sematech,the US chip manufacturing research and development consortium, a fab will cost more than $ 10 billion by 2015- more expensive that a nuclear power plant and becoming the single most expensive industrial manufacturing facility". There are a number of interesting articles in this issue of Financial Times within a supplemental section titled INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. I am reading from a hard copy.
