Michael,
The Terradyne/MU cancellation number was stated at 20 million or roughly 20 machines. I suspect that you order them like airplanes, scheduled out over time. As I remember they were building a brand new plant in Utah, that I am sure was going to be the new home for these machines. They moth balled that place a number of months ago, well before SEA crisis. Either way, that is a lot of through put that they cancelled, Which means they must have plenty of test capacity which I guess is what you are referring to. Mike, it has to be time that they are caught and taken to the woodshed. Please let me be the one to count the lashes....33...32...31...30...29...ect. 6.

Let me take this opportunity to ask you about your thoughts regarding perspective opportunities in the Y2K area. Would prefer longs but certainly have played the Don't Pass Line before.
