Brian, Any idea of what kind of silicon content there is in these LCD monitors or FPDs as I prefer to call them? Sam

I was wondering how much power a CRT uses in a year if it is on 10 hrs a day vs that used for a LCD monitor? What if California started to give everyone a rebate to switch and help save power? How long would it take to pay off the price of a new LCD monitor if you replaced directly, inch for inch? Doesn't AMAT make CVD equipment used to make monitors? They list it on Pg 33 of their annual report so I guess so. I wonder how much of their business this is? Kirk out
