From Fleckstien: The real story behind tech... I would like to read a press release from Advanced Energy Industries Inc. (AEIS), which makes power systems for semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Today it fired 14 percent of its work force and the company said, "Semiconductor equipment customers have reduced capital spending and delayed orders due to tough economic times in Asia, compounded by DRAM over-capacity and lower PC sales." This is the current situation (weak PC sales, excess capacity in DRAM ) yet people have been mesmerized by technology and continue to buy it. Alex G.
