Tony, How long does it take such a line to get fully functioanl with no more dust from the ceilings falling on the chips? . I would expect that if they have the machines in place since last fall that they would be well on their way to making chips. The yield?, how long does it take to make such a line work at a high yield? If they moved the Texas plant and emplaced it in a new site, how long would they take to make that tried and true line make high yield stuff again? I have to think they are capable of setting up and aligning the line a few months after getting all the machines installed. Are they useing any new and untried tech there?, that might make them take a lot longer. Bill
