Les, re: Book to bill
I didn't realize those numbers were still published by the SIA Thought they stopped reporting a year or two ago. I agree these are great future indicators of the semi industry and was disappointed at their decision.
Are they publishing them again? Or do you have another source for the data?
TIA Gene

Les, this has always been a suspect number, and it got more so a couple of years back when they changed the calculation because the ratio was below one. <g> I rarely look at it now.
