Cockroach, Time Traveler remembers your damned Kurlak-like opinion of Intel. So what, you just got lucky once. K-Met is only one of the very many capacitor producers in the world. With a ceramic capacitor selling for under two pennies apiece, the profit margin is even thinner than a razor blade. No wonder, one of the low performing ones would encounter problems. You would have known K-Met has been stepping closer to a grave year by year if you are in the capacitor business. Keytronic is also in the business of razor-thin profit margin. Such a relative low-tech operation, just every one and his brother can enter the business. Again, with countless keyboard makers in the world, Keytronics being a casualty of competition is not very surprising. In the CPU business, there are only a few competitors to Intel, yet all except Intel are losing money. Pissed-off member of team Intel, Time Traveler
