Whats your take on the closing of factories, who's gonna get hit the hardest??? Ricoh, Canon, Xerox????

Hey Art,

Didn't notice your question till now.

I do not know for sure. I know that so much of the hardware are built in China/Taiwan/etc and that most Japan-based manufacturing facilities are nowhere near the tsunami zone, so there is no actual damage to the plants.

That said, the factories, shipping operations, and corporate HQs are certainly not back to business as usual so I would think there would be some disruption.

I was at the Sharp dealer meetings and Ed McLaughlin said that their manufacturing and supply chain are fine but he indicated that another unnamed manufacturer is using scare tactics to encourage its dealers to stock up on product and that he viewed this and unethical. Not sure what MFR that is though...
