Eric I wish I had the technical knowledge to answer that. Actually my present focus has been on the back-end folks. Esp. testing which is enjoying robust growth and which I gather needs to be done more and more as these chips get more and more complex. BTB testing was something like 1.18 in recent report. Not too shabby at all. I tend to avoid the big guys so I'm sorry but I can't give you more info. on AMAT. In general the Cu tools are a huge advance. My sense is that the ramp to volume production is still several quarters away. So far IBM, possibly INTC and MOT - is that about right? Glad you like COHU. This one's a sleeper and a keeper.
