G,
I am not expecting that scenario to develop but as we have seen anything is possible. The gross $500m bottom for '98 has little significance here as a benchmark. We could bottom at many numbers in that range. mike

I didn't expect 3 months of flatness, but it happened. Why not another step down? Orders stand at $700m now. The '98 bottom was <$500m.

China?
