When I look at the charts, I see Semi sales far above the dot com peak, but semi-equip sales at the level of peaks much lower than the dot com peak. 2010 is an inflection year for the semi/ semi-equip sales ratio! Huge amounts of front end semi-equip purchases in 2010 have not added to wafer capacity. I expect semi-equip sales to move significantly above the previous peaks and toward the dot com peak.
