Re CNBC appearance, Morgan was in a room or booth with real equipment, I guess at the conference going on this week. Very upbeat as has been the case all year. He's beginning to look, sound, to me, something like super-salesman Chambers of Cisco, I believe a friend of his. This is meant as a positive. Nothing really new came out, but what was said:

- 0.18 micron, copper and 300 mm are the drivers for the next 2 - 3 years. He also mentioned low K dielectric for faster basic transistor realization, which Intel has been concentrating on for speed improvement, as a driver over the next 2 - 3 years. Haynes asked if customers had to buy new equipment for each of these drivers. Morgan more or less said yes. "You had to pay to play." Not sure though, and I don't know enough about the different pieces to comment. Katherine, please?

- AMAT gaining share because they have more of the tools than anyone else. One stop shopping.

- Japan looking much better recently.

- Haynes asked "what inning are we in re the comeback. Morgan: "just getting started."

I know I missed something. Anyone else?
