Hi Paul

Can I ask a question about terminology? When a timetable says a certain fab is ramping in Q1, what exactly does that mean? Starting enough wafers to be considered production? In the normal course of events, would you expect if a fab starts ramping in x quarter, you would see product in the market in x+1 quarter?

I'm a little confused about the 300 mm press release from yesterday. The last schedule I saw had this fab ramping in Q1 of '02. But the press release says chips will be in the marketplace "at the beginning of next year." Does this sound like they have pulled in the timetable by a quarter?

Thanks for your help.

andy
