Cary, I agree that AMAT should get into the lithography market in a big way; ASML would be the prime candidate IMHO. As for where we are headed, I think it would be quite arrogant for anyone to say definitively where AMAT will be 10 or 20 years hence. As IC's increase their penetration into everyday products, and those products become cheaper to buy and therefore more available to the masses, the limit is only that of an engineer's imagination. This is not pie-in-the-sky thinking; we are seeing it now with cell phones, MP3 players etc. How many people 10 years ago said we would hit a wall at .25 microns? Predicting where technology is ultimately headed usually only has one end effect; that of making the predictor look more foolish than a Dial-A-Psychic. Brian
