FYI Veeco Instruments is also in this business. The stock is off substantially from its highs although I heard it was going to have a strong quarter. I have not purchased any to date as I haven't finished my research and can't determine yet how far head companies have progressed in MR Capital purchases. I believe RDRT will spend 300 M this year on MR related transition. APM is farther behind RDRT and I believe will spend about 120M this year. I am looking for more info on what portion of MR fab relates to precision tooling that you describe

GM, thanks for your reply. If it is IBM that is buying JMAR's MR head inspection equipment, then JMAR should be in for a nice ride. The info below says that IBM is supplying MR heads to Western Digital. If all this is true, I am trying to determine the potential revenues for a tiny company like JMAR. I hope one of the knowledeable people on this conference can help me determine this.
