I saw a review that claimed the premise of AVTAK was wrong, that instead
of cornering the market on ICs by blowing up Silicon Valley, that most
of the consumers of ICs were in Silicon Valley and the market would be
almost eliminated by such action. (actually, the market is sort of
crippled already [hey chuqui, are you still there?])

Any comments on this? I happen to suspect it is wrong, that many computers
are manufactured outside of Silicon Valley, like the IBM PC. Commercial
real estate here is pretty expensive for low tech assembly. And I read
that things like PBXs use a LOT of memory devices.
