Re: Snow days

So, perhaps the weather problems are part of "Getting It"?

Localized weather problems, even as large as half the USA freezing up for a week, do not generally affect market pressures on product development. In a 35 year career, I lost work days in Hartford CT, Dallas TX, Colorado Springs CO and Atlanta GA over the years (plus college days in Golden CO and Stony Brook NY). Nearly half of my career has been in Chandler AZ, where I have never lost a day to weather.

It's part of the lesson. If your fabs don't shake because you built them somewhere that is geologically stable, your yields are higher and you make more money. If people can either get to work no matter what, or tele-cooperate with desktop sharing over reliable communications networks, you will make more money.
