Nice "stab" Denis but I think you left some meat on
the table.

Your revenue number for 700 DUVs does not include
ancilliary support revenue for cavity replacement,
every six months, and other stuff. I have been trying
to pin down what an appropriate ratio of DUV-to-other-
stuff ratio might be by having TS and Maxwell guess.
Probably difficult to ascertain...but I think their
guesses would be better than most.

This is an important question as the ongoing revenue
stream for support contracts and parts replacements
obviously expands Cymer's potential. For instance, if
the ratio is 4 to 1 then the above EPS number expands
by 25%. Moreover, support contracts and parts revenue
could increase the net margin to 12% or more from last
quarter's 10% level. Please help us on this issue TS
and Maxwell. Your answers, right or wrong, are better
than uncertainty.

Good investing all.
