inre AMAT. tell me about it. I was pretty confident they'd come in with good numbers, but then I started hearing those damn whisper numbers. At first blush I thought I was dead meat. Joey the K initially reported the raw number of a penny above, but "forgot" to mention the charge which in actuality gave them 49&cent. I'm loaded up pretty good with semi-equips and obviously AMAT had to do well to prevent me from jumping out the window this a.m.
