vartan - You're division is impeccable. But like any company, amat has fixed costs that are unrelated to revenues, or that can _only_ be reduced with great cost and effort when revenues are expected to decline. If profits were a fixed percentage of revenues, reliably under adversely changing circumstances, we'd all get consistent returns on OUR investments, true? We don't.
