    Imagine a really bad quake… Everything has to be realigned. Their perfectly manometer aligned tech suddenly moves 3 inches in all directions, so it must be re-alighned before it can continue making good chips. Even today will have an effect on prices, but imagine a week or a month of no chip making!
