carl, the big difference between mu and its competitors is that the govt doesn't outright support mu as much as its competitors' govtas do. korea WILL NOT let its dram companies fail. PERIOD. no matter what it takes. i don't think japan or the taiwanese (sp??) will either.

the industry sucks. everyone has to increase bit production at least 1005 a year to minimally reduce costs - and that is w/o the big, big capexes.

dan niles is a dope.

....though Samsung is in the same range and Hyundai is probably not far behind.

Both Samsung and Hyundai are ahead of MU here. Samsung is already sending a 128 Meg using .18um. And let us not forget IBM. They just sent out their .18um with some great little features MU has not been able to make work in the smaller sizes; yet.

Re: Niles made the statement that falling prices are good for MU.

If I may add, that was probably spoken specifically with #3 in mind. Hyundai/LG is still hunting for money to go sub-0.25um. $10 product all the time will keep #3 alive and kicking. A price down right to $7.50 about now will really put a damper on things for #3.

If # 3 gives up, #1 & #2 will be in fat city for quite a while.
