Kumar, you say "Further you are saying that the prices are falling etc., etc., This means that most of the chip makers will be forced to go in for technology shrink. meaning migrating from .35 mu to .25 mu or to .16mu. This translate to additional purchase of equipment to keep up with the requirement of customers."...

Then how do you explain the slowdown of 1996/97?? Based on your logic....they should have been spending more money in 1996 to move to smaller shrinks.
