>> Asia is taking the B2B data well enough. Thanks. I would be interested to know how you view it. Is it consistent with a trend toward higher rev figures in coming Q, or is it a retreat from current expectations ? In the past couple weeks, Altera, Xilinx, TI and Intel each said that revs would be approx 3 to 5 % higher than prev Q, or prev expectations. So is this B2B OK in the context of waiting for capacity utilization to go higher before equip bookings increase ? I think if in fact capacity util is higher, and chip inventories are lower, today's news is good.
