The suppliers know. Helix announces great earnings today. AMAT is Helix's biggest customer. By the power of deductive reasoning what do you get? Maybe the following from HELX earnings announcement will help answer the question. Jeff "'Net income in the second quarter more than doubled over that reported in the first quarter of 1999. The global semiconductor capital equipment industry is in the early stages of a substantial recovery and Helix is benefiting from the improved market conditions. Customers across the industry continue to look to Helix for innovative solutions to their vacuum system requirements. With continuing strong order bookings across each of our Product Centers, we are optimistic about our performance during the second half of this year."
