A question about the Barron's article. I'm optimistic about LSI's future, but the gentleman being interviewed said the new fab plant will handle LSI's future growth from 1.25 Billion in sales to 3 billion over the next couple of years. That seems like explosive growth considering all the problems in the world. Is there really that much demand for LSI's products, or has LSI's management sold him a grand story as well. I wonder how much LSI's products really can grow in the future. If they build a shinny new plant all set to sell chips and the world economies continue to tank, then what. For starters We have more overhead to deal with. I know, we don't have the PC problem, but how many consumer products are Japan's people going to buy considering next week their banking system could fail and they may not have jobs. I'm sure this question has been answered before but if we could revisit it I would appreciate it. Thanks.
