Mike -

(Semi book to bill is no longer calculated what Les is refering to is the semi Equipment book to bill. I can hear Maria screaming AMAT up strongly )

After all these years Maria still can't distinguish a semiconductor stock from a semiconductor equipment stock. It grates on my ears like chalk on a blackboard when she applies an analyst semiconductor equipment upgrade to to a fabless semiconductor stock like Altera which doesn't even buy semiconductor equipment. -g-

Regards, Don

Mike, I thought so. Think they report bill to bill (m/m) now which looks backward. Book to bill was much more informative. Gene
