Denis, If it's any consolation, the technologies embodied in the Orion product are applicable to their ArF lasers as well. Again as previously discussed, we have been working on some next-generation technologies applicable to both Argon-Fluoride and Krypton-Fluoride. Those two critical technologies go by the name of pulse-stretching and also multi-kilohertz operation. Pulse-stretching allows one to tailor the pulse of the laser to achieve optimal lifetime for the optics train by minimizing damage to optical material. And multi-kilohertz operation of course provides extra throughput, and extra precision in dosage control for both steppers and especially for the next-generation of scanners. We are certainly proud to announce in this conference call that we have successfully completed some critical demonstration milestones on both programs as part of our Sematech program, and we have realized 1.4 million dollars in revenue in this quarter as a result of those successful demonstrations. Those technologies certainly greatly enhance competitiveness of future products that Cymer can introduce. Message 2550096 RE:I don't know about you but I sleep well at night. Like a baby. This stock is going to do very well over the next several years. Just wish I could buy more. <G> Cheers, Bob
