The time line is immediate. It is an increase of about 10% of what was being produced. It is an increase of about 30% of what old Symbios was producing. I am not sure if Gresham is taking up some of the production, although I believe that this was the plan--plus the fact that the Fab could have gone to 3000 per week with more new "tools". My source is a "quasi" parking lot attendant for the second shift. What he does is count the cars and the hours they were there--sort of like the old Motley Fool method with Iomega. He says you wouldn't believe the cars these guys drive. LSI pays extremely well, and he sees nothing but Jags, Caddys, etc. The babes arrive in short leather skirts with stiletto heels, and the hairy chested guys dress in Armani silk shirt with lots of gold. The fab is known in the business as the Milan of the Semi World. They are also great tippers, so he really loves his "job"--or so he says. If you ever drop by the fab for a tour, look around for "Bobo" and he will do a very nice wash and quick detail on your chariot while you are inside the clean room. I like his work.
