Thanks for your replies. I have one more question. RE: "By check indicates AMAT had very poor gross margin with the Etch product and I am deducing from this fact that AMAT had more product sold for non-critical applications." Where do you go to find AMAT's gross margins on etch and can you quantify "very poor gross margin"? Thanks again!
