Jim, re >Expansion of production facilities is a leading indicator of Revenue growth... Maybe. Now and then a company builds a plant that remains under-utilized or is shut down soon after completion. Ask Siemens. They shuttered a DRAM plant in England recently. The plant was 1 1/2 years old. There are others. The disk drive industry is notorious for building up to capacity gluts. I am not saying I expect that to happen to Iomega's new plant. But it might - especially if lots of competition enters the market. Gottfried
