<Ken Thompson has apparently become a professional board member. He joined both the PRI and the GaSonics boards very recently, and has now added SVGL to the list.>

I suspect that both PRI and GaSonics are in a better position to get Intel business regardless of whether he has become a "professional" board member. And, I'd rather have him on my Board than on ASMLF, regardless. :~)

<Not to cast aspersions on Thompson--he's got an excellent reputation--but this is starting to resemble those cases where retired politicians return as lobbyists.>

Aren't all semi-equipment purchases political in nature? :~) From my personal experience, they have been....but maybe things have changed since I changed professions. :~)
