Gottfried, That chart has a very powerful message - chip sales have been rising for the most part since January 02(10B to about 12.5B), but semi-equip bookings are essentially flat. The question is - how much further can chip sales rise without causing some increase in semi-equip spending?

The answer is "how much capacity did they build before the bubble crashed?"

The average is about $14B.... still above where we are today.
