I am not familiar with the service contracts. I believe that gross earnings could fall there or above. Bruce

Glenn: Dr. Akins emphasized that Cymer does not plan to use the 1000 lasers per year capacity in 1998. Pertinent text of Dr. Akins' comments below (BTW--thanks, Scot, for transcribing the CC--good job) ". . . That expansion in San Diego and with Seiko now gives us the ability to put in place, uh - or have put in place - a raw capacity to produce more than 1000 lasers per year and the spare parts required to support them. I want to caution everyone that we don't plan to use that capacity to its full extent in 1998, and remind everyone that one of our customers recently told us that, in their opinion, the demand by chipmakers for Deep-UV tools in 1998 would be approximately 700 systems, and in the same breath said he doubted that the industry would have an industry-wide capacity to meet all of those requests."
