Richard, I'm sure that semi equip manufacturers are trying to improve delivery times, but it is well to remember that making
semiconductor equipment is not easy!

Good point. A friend of mine went from a "normal" computer company to AMAT and he said he'd never seen such crazy equipment in his life. Robotics, high temp, gases, AND the "easy" stuff, analog and digital and microcode he'd been used to at the CPU company.

AMAT not quick enough for them? I say, let INTC build their own equipment! Bring back the good ol'days went SemiCap equipment was built for captive use only.

The old adage still holds in this new century: if you want something done right, you have got to do it yourself.

Do you think that AMAT could produce my back-ordered 800Mhz PIII?
