128mb PC100 == (s)dram == FABs in Azia (mainly Taiwan, you know the country
   hit by an earthquick)
compactflash/smartmedia == flashram/eeprom == Intel/AMD/STMicroelectronics ==
   Fabs in America/Europe and Azia. Impact of the Taiwan earthquick is small.)

MD == TDK, SONY, Maxell, HiSpace.. etc.. Fabs all over the world ;-) Unless all
   MD manufacturing countries are hit by an earthquick, prices won't rise!
