well one thing is for sure, his potato businesses were far more profitable.... maybe if he put a deep fryer at the enf of each line instead of paying the millions for RTP processors he'd have a better business model....

on the GE buy's AMAT scenario.... which I think Eugene and I have been suggesting for more than a year now. It makes sense but not now. GE would (if history is a guide) prefer to let the market stabelize and make sure it has the right horse, than buy now to save a few bucks.
However it does seem a fair bet that the world's biggest manufacturer and financer of capital machinery would want to play in a consolidating semi market, and this is the one variable in my doom and gloom scenario over the next 18 months
