I agree BOB. After listening to several past CC. I have been impress with the management at BRKS. IMO The Life science market is a lot more defined currently than the semi supply space currently. The semi space has been stuck in a long slump for some time (uncertainly). Which is normal for a fast changing category. RE: The PC is dying. The Cell phone market is saturated reiterations. I still think given how INTC, QCOM , APPL among some, are still needing to replace old technology and testing waters for new markets. The newer categories of today are full of potential and expanding. RE: Drones, Bio-metrics, Robotics AR/VR LEDS ect ect. This is exciting to me. Cryogenic stored blood samples. I'm not even going to go there.:+ ) I feel this space will someday reach it potential which will lead to higher stock prices for those who deliver bottom line results. I haven't look at COHU lately but I l still like the space. I'll take a look
