Briefing.com on book-to-bill ratio ...

Semiconductor equipment book-to-bill rose to 1.34 in January, the third highest level in the history of the SEMI Express report... SoundView believes we are still in the early stages of the cycle; projects capital spending increases of 34% in 2000 and 27% in 2001; believes estimates could prove to be conservative.

Best of luck.
