Katherine:

Thanks but that 32 is really quite amazing. Last year it was 28.5 billion and then after the 1 billion mis-count, it was corrected to 27.5 billion. This means that with 32 billion they are expecting a 16% increase in spending in cap. exp. I find that incredible to believe!

Lehman and someone else are actually predicting much less:

Plus AMAT has hinted at at least a -10% fall.

So all roads point to 24-25 billion or so or about 8 billion less than IC?
