Yuan,

Although I am in the same 'boat' as it were, I have been pretty, no
actually, very unsuccessful at finding any real data to confirm the
component pricing trends. I have posted the same question here as well
as two other Internet forums related to SM and Assembly. I will keep
your email address handy should I get any response that may help, and I
would appreciate the same from your end.

TechNetters, please consider this a second request from me as well as a
request from Yuan. The data has to be out there somewhere.

Again, Thanks to all in advance!
