Andy - Re: "Could the equipment they cancelled be 0.25 stuff that they won't need now because 0.18 is coming faster than they expected? Does this make sense?"

As far as Fab 16 (Fort Worth), yes - it will not be built and no equipment will be ordered until year 2000/2001 - and that may not even be 0.18 micron stuff - but 300 mm and 0.13 micron equipment.

Some of the equipment that was cancelled was assembly equipment - wire bonders from K & S.

Intel will be ramping their flip-chip/C4 bonding process, using entirely different equipment - no wire bonders required. The main vendor for this is not currently K & S.
