I guess the most important indicator for them is B-toB for the next quarter when they announce earnings. I know INTC and AMD are definitely hurting in the flash market, one's losing money and the other's flat. If ATML held on, it would be good in the long term. I'm wondering about the 1.2 B-to-B they mentioned in the beginning of this quarter. If anyone can find out from ATML whether it still holds, it will solve all the problems and the uncertainty. Anyone talked to them recently? When I called three weeks ago when the stock started to slide, the IR person said "unsure". I guess lots of the institutions got the similar answer and they sold. Anyone care to try to call them and find out whether the 1.2 BTB still holds? If it holds, I'll jump right in. Because that means ATML beat INTC and AMD and they're still healthy. Even if they miss a few cents on earnings, they'll have a brighter future. Frank
