Thank you! sorry about that everyone!
I love archive.ph :)
paywalled. Also the guys listed aren't in the chip business at all.

I don't like this.
I realize that we are in a chip shortage. It's making it hard on businesses everywhere.

It concerns me to see so few of people dictating such a giant part of the economy, chips included.
