Jay,

An interesting thesis.

Do you believe that the sector is heading to a cyclical low rather than a pause on the upleg that started June 96?

The conditions that you described came to pass during the first 2-3 quarters of 96. Since 4Q96, fabs have been introducing new technology - CMP, DUV, other 0.25u / 0.18u equipment. While I wouldn't argue with a 3-6 month lag in prices, I'm not sure that we'll actually see cyclical lows of 1*Sales for AMAT or other companies that are well positioned for the new technology, for example.

Ian.
