This is one of the weirder comments by an analyst of late. As far as I know, Intel is not announcing '99 cap. ex. until the Q4 CC. I wonder what "announcement" he is referring to. They did mention a 70% equipment reuse policy, but James Morgan of Applied said this policy has been in place for years now.

Q: Are the announcements of the Exxon-Mobil merger and Boeing's production cutbacks examples of that?

A: They sure are. So was Intel's decision to cut capital spending by 40 percent, which it announced a couple of weeks ago. I think we are going to see more of that. We have had the biggest capital spending boom in history. But after a while, there is too much of it.
