Yakov, Thanks for the book-to-bill information. I liked this part toward the end: "Although chip makers may reevaluate capital spending for new capacity, purchases of advanced equipment for next-generation device technology are expected to continue, even in the DRAM business," said Dick Greene, principal analyst with SEMI. In January, orders for semiconductor equipment were 24% higher than a year ago, while shipments were 42% above 1996 levels, said SEMI. The trade group also revised its final December and November book-to-bill ratios to parity at 1.0, up from the preliminary figures of 0.97 and 0.98. Baird
