And those chips will make their way into the market at a much cheaper price . Increasing supply of an all ready glutted market at a lower price. Another good reason to be invested in this industry. RR

DJ, This may sound stupid but why would anyone feel the need to steal a product that is near rock bottom already. Seems like a lot of effort for such a little reward, especially when Asian producers are almost giving it away!! It's not like '95 when 4 megs where selling for $17 bucks!!! Maybe were missing something , but I don't think supply is this tight!!! P.H.

DJ, -RE your story- [SNIP]"broke into the San Francisco International Airport's cargo terminal on the morning of Feb. 9 and got away with 47 boxes of 16- and 64-megabyte dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips."[SNIP] Uhmmm. Was this some sort of special shipment? I didn't think that 16-megabyte(i.e. 128-megabit) or 64-megabyte(i.e. 512-megabit) chips were in production yet. I guess that these were pre-production samples? Would there be a reason to steal something like this for reverse engineering purposes? Sounds like industrial espionage to me. Craig
