Ken,

RE: "...who is seeing no visibility?"

Currently, AMAT and other semi-equip management and analysts who depend on their guidance have little visibility beyond Q4 96. Expectations for a resumption of business growth are 18-24 months.

Consequently, 97 and 98 are forecasted with the HOPE that current backlog gets shipped and new orders are forthcoming. These forecasts have been declining steadily.

RE: "...fun to watch over the next 12-18 months."

I don't think "fun" is the word. Maybe, profitable for some.
