<<I would guess it means nothing good>> Maybe so. Go ahead and sell your shares so I can pick them up cheap. I'll keep focusing on micro-machining and Mirage MR head-testing products and make money on the shares you are going to sell me. :)

The news really will not have much of an impact (good or bad) on JMAR. They will continue to deliver their prototypes by the end of 1998. It simply means that Sematech is not going to make a definitive decision on the technology today. If JMAR's x-ray proves effective, it will be adopted if it is economically feasible regardless of Sematech. ARPA is still funding JMAR's x-ray project, that is the important thing to watch. The technology that has been created by JMAR's x-ray program is the real winner. Read the paragraph below from JMAR's letter to its shareholders: As the 1980s drew to a close, our nation re-directed more of its resources from military to worldwide economic competition. JMAR kept pace with this change, shifting the main thrust of its world-class laser R&D efforts from advanced military communications to pioneering semiconductor manufacturing technology. Specifically, we focused on developing laser-driven X-ray sources for the critical processes needed to produce the higher performance computer chips of the future. The advanced laser technology developed in connection with this program has also served as a fountainhead for virtually all of JMAR's other new product developments. As a side note, I found this link on JMAR's PPL division. It has info on the mirage system. (Used by disk drive makers to measure MR heads). primenet.com --Bilberry
