If you're an ETEC shareholder, then a share worth about $40 this morning would fetch about $80 if the deal closed today. If you're an AMAT shareholder, the 800 pound gorilla is now an 850 pound gorilla with mask writing capability and perhaps some improved R&D expertise to assist the SCALPEL Development should that be needed. And if you're a holder of shares in other gaps in AMAT's arsenal, your shares will probably pop up tomorrow. I have no idea how the market will treat MTSN tomorrow relative to this takeover. My guess is that there's too much overlap for MTSN to be of much interest to AMAT. BWDIK, Ian.
