<<<with more news about XRL coming to the forefront, it pays to watch what's happening.>>> I have repeated my post from late last night below. How far out does an investment in a XRL company become feasable?, how long would one have to hold that stock before it began to pay off? Isn't Cymer in just this position and aren't we waiting for the pay off? Why do you keep bringing XRL tech here, who's turn is way out, in terms of reward. I think you should post this in a thread on long term investing in future technologies. Most of us are aware of XRL and some of us may invest there if it looks like it is going to make it to the mass production floor. I enjoy your posts Betty, but I feel you have a not so hidden agenda here. Why don't you just plug the company, maybe we will buy. <G> Ed Betty, Thanks for the references on your statements. In reading the two articles I saw nothing to lead me to belive that XLR is even close to being used in mass production, just more of the same speciality facilities and evaluation fabs. This is something XLR has a lot of experience in. With the stated target markets for the .07 to .17 micron for XRL, we again have the cart before the horse, the .25 micron not yet mastered and just entering into the mass production arena. The next act in this show is KrF lasers, Cymer, and even now we are waiting for the curtain to go up. How long is this act? Will KrF be extended economicaly well below .25 micron? I don't know, but I do know this generation of fab equipment is about to take its run and I hope we are in for a good ride. CUL, Ed
