Dave, Don't forget that AMAT uses a high % of their sales income to fund the R&D, otherwise Uncle Sam just takes it away as taxes on earnings from sales. The money in the kitty is for investments and rainy years where there is very little income. If anything the cash will be available to pick up some new technology that AMAT feels has the most future growth potential for the next 5-10 years, like maybe X-ray lithography or ion/electron beam lithography, which will take devices to 0.02uM potentially. just my opinion, BB
