( ESNUG 391 Item 1 ) --------------------------------------------- [04/10/02]

Subject: 8595 in the ESNUG Top 120 American Chip Design/Manufacturing Co.'s

A CYBER-CENSUS IS DIFFERENT:  I have to qualify this part of the count as
*mostly* American because on the web it's not always easy to figure out
who's where.  A ".de" is in Germany.  A ".uk" is in England.  A ".se" is in
Sweden.  A ".jp" is in Japan.  A ".edu" is a college.  So a ".com", by
elimination, must be an American company for the purposes of this count.
