Gottfried,

Thanks for the updated chart -- the shipments does provide a context for the estimated backlog. As a ratio (I call this Backlog-Months), assuming the arbitrary starting value to keep backlog positive, the backlog has increased from about 2 months to 3 months since Jan 2000. This would seem to be a healthy backlog. However, as shown on another of your charts (EDIT: I think it got replaced with the new backlog chart), the monthly net increase in the backlog (bookings - shipments) after climbing rapidly seems to have stalled.

And there could still be those pesky cancellations...

This is mostly just playing with numbers for me but I do have some COHU that is a tad underwater (and a lot of AMD) so am interested in following/understanding the BTB.
