They've held inventory for quite some time and....

I expect they will always hold a high amount. I think the inventory IS a little TOO HIGH right now given we are knee high in Asia doo-doo :-) I think perception will change and become more positive over the months. I also expect interest in new products to have a negative short-term effect.

I was surprised to see CYMER ship as many lasers as they did last Q. If the company didn't say they would, I wouldn't have believed it.

I think it has to do with this being a new and lucrative opportunity for all involved. CYMER's customers have just gotten a REAL CRASP on production and many have plans to ramp up BIG-TIME. I-line is a losing market right now and each Q report will indicate more and more DUV as a % of market share.

Cymer just gave the market an excuse to adjust inventory and they probably used R&D to justify a portion of it.

I think earnings will come in exactly as Cymer told us - no surprises.
