Jeffrey, 'estimating' the btb should be outlawed.<vbg> What good does it do? Even the official numbers from SEMI are subject to restatement for a month. The Goldman Sachs's just want their name in print and want to give the appearance of possessing wisdom. G.

The BTB is a 3 month avg. I find it hard to believe GS could be so far off with their projection of .97. I am hoping they were looking at July only, similar to the recent VLSI call of a .77 BTB for July only. If not, these guys are even worse than I thought, and I am not sure that is possible:-) Brian
