I'm starting to wonder if prices may be about as good as they get for a
few months. With large parts of south-east asia having bigger concerns
then our computer needs (that whole being in the middle of massive
natural disaster thing) if we're going to see price shocks in the coming
weeks. I haven't heard anyone talking about it yet (rightly more
concerned with the more immedate problems probably), I would be surpised
if the semi-conductor industry gets away from this without major impact
as well. Granted I'm not analyst, but seems pretty clear to me.
